Don't cry for me now that I'm gone
for you never once cried while I was alone.
You say it is my fault that we don't cuddle
how many tears were shed before?
All those years you were never tired
you just wanted to talk to your friends
I went to bed alone and cried sometimes
now it's my fault?
For years I waited, and waited, and waited
but you were always too busy for me
you say its my fault that I don't share your interests
but when did you ever share mine?
You said my music was crap
you said my shows were dumb
you berated me to all your so called friends
and you wonder why now I am numb.
It's not a joke when you mock me
it's not okay in the least
I grew tired of it, there's no shock here
so don't you dare shed a single tear.
I stopped trying because whats the point
you constantly said you'd rather smoke a joint.
I tried for years to get you to see the light
but in the end I just got to tired to fight.
So don't cry for me when I am gone
don't cry for me when you're finally alone.
You married me to get away from your parents
now you are fully alone.
Don't cry for me, I don't want tears
I don't want to put up with it for more years.
I'm done and washing my hands of you
I'm moving on, that's right, we're through
Yeah I made mistakes in the past
I did things I have regrets that'll last
but the one thing that I know is 100% true
is that you won't cry for me, and I won't cry for you.
