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
