I Don'T Want To Cry

I don't want to cry

I've been all alone,
so long without you,
and I just don't know, what else I can do

And as I think,
about all that we had,
I cherish those days, and I try to be glad

Chorus 1
Now, I don't want to cry,
so I, hold back the tears,
but, I still have to try,
and vanquish my fears
I don't want to cry...
no, no... I don't want to cry

Now I've given up,
the hope you'll return
the tears well up, my eyes start to burn

Chorus 1
Now, I don't want to cry,
so I, hold back the tears,
but, I still have to try,
and vanquish my fears
I don't want to cry...
no, no... I don't want to cry

My mind is so tired,
from dreaming of you,
and it starts a fire, then burns out of view

Now I realize,
just how much I care,
my hope crashes down,  the pain I can't bear

Chorus 2
Now, I don't want to cry,
don't want no-one to see,
don't want anyone, 
feeling sorry for me,
Now, I don't want to cry, 
no, no... I don't want to cry

Chorus 1
Now, I don't want to cry,
so I, hold back the tears,
but, I still have to try,
and vanquish my fears
I don't want to cry...
no, no... I don't want to cry

I don't want to cry...
no, no... I don't want to cry
I don't want to cry...
no, no... I don't want to cry

repeat and fade
