I Won'T Be There When You Cry

I watched you crying at the mirror today Watched your tears fall from your eyes I just turned and walked away Waited for you to say good-bye ~ Last night you said that we were through That tomorrow you'd be going away Said you're leaving for someone new Oh! what a price I had to pay Those vows we said on our wedding day Went away when you turned out the light Didn't matter what I had to say Didn't matter if it was wrong or right ~ You braught someone into our lives Broke my heart when you went astray You smiled and said that I'd survive Oh! what a price I had to pay (Chorus) Well tonight I'll just say good-bye With our world turned upside down You turned my smile into a frown So tonight I'll just say good-bye And when you're tears fall from your eyes I won't be there when you cry Been a year since you broke my heart And burned that hole into our lives Now it's your world that's ripped apart Cause he smiled and said that you'd survive ~ He burned both ends of your candle And your world went dark when he went away Now your back begging for my hand Oh! what a price you had to pay (Chorus) Well tonight I'll just say good-bye With our world turned upside down You turned my smile into a frown So tonight I'll just say good-bye And when you're tears fall from your eyes I won't be there when you cry You turned my smile into a frown So tonight I'll just say good-bye And when you're tears fall from your eyes I won't be there when you cry
