I Can't Cry

(album: Good To Be Back - 1989)

Hey, yeah
Mm-mmm...

Emotion overcomes me
In the middle of the night
You've left a space beside me
So I hold my pillow tight
The tears that always find me
Are nowhere near my eyes
There's nothing there
And you would swear
There's a heart that's turned
To stone tonight

After all the times
I let all my feelings show
This time I just can't let go

'Cause I can't cry (can't cry)
Though my tears would fill an ocean
I can't cry (can't cry)
Like I did before
I can't deny (can't cry)
This heart's still badly broken
But I can't cry no more, no

Like a child who runs from danger
I'm trying to catch my breath
But tonight I will surrender
To the pain that I know best
I'm tired of feeling sorry
And doing like I'm told
So I'll take my life into my hands
Resist the urge to lose control

And you're the one who said
It's weak to turn your inside out
But, baby, if you could see me
I'll do you proud

'Cause I can't cry (can't cry)
Though my tears would fill an ocean
I can't cry (can't cry)
Like I did before
Tell me why (can't cry)
This heart's still badly broken

Take back the hands that held me
They no longer keeps me warm
Each lonely night becomes
A memory that keeps me strong
(Strong, hanging on)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
Oh, oh, oh-oh...
Cry, cry

After all the times
I let all my feelings show
This time I just can't let go
Oh, oh...

'Cause I can't cry (can't cry)
Though my tears would fill an ocean
I can't cry (can't cry)
Like I did before
I can't deny (can't cry)
That my heart's still badly broken
But I can't cry no more

(Can't cry)
Though my tears would fill an ocean
I can't cry (can't cry)
Like I did before
Tell me why (can't cry)
This heart's still badly broken
But I can't cry no more

(Can't cry)
See, I don't have anymore tears
(Can't cry)
Don't have no more time
Mo more tears
(Can't cry)
