Don't Cry for Me
Left here...
Sitting beside myself in tears
With nothing left...
Nothing left of me to love I fear.
And when the time comes for me to go
When you realize what you should've known
Though it seemed like the right answer was no
It was love that you should've shown...
But don't cry for me when I'm gone.
Don't let yourself face that regret as you live
Because you know I was the one
Who would have given you all I had to give
So don't cry for me when I'm gone.
Walking down...
This road that we call life.
My empty soul...
And my heart as black as night.
When that time comes that you need to know
When you figure out where you need to go
That it was me who gave you everything i had to show
For a love that now I may never know.
Don't cry for me when I'm gone.
Don't let yourself face that regret as you live
Because you know I was the one
Who would have given you all I had to give
So don't cry for me when I'm gone.
A thousand thousand pieces is what I see
When I look in the mirror at who's staring back at me
Broken eyes looking back at thee
A heart that matches the me who doesn't want to be.
"Get back up!" I tell myself.
"You're not done walking through this hell!"
"Don't feel like going on? Oh fucking well!"
"You've got to get up, and face the devil himself!"
So don't cry for me when I'm gone.
I'm not giving up as long as I live!
Because you know I am the one
Who would give you all I have to give
So don't cry for me when I'm gone.
I can't help that I'm not him.
I'll walk this road alone
Alone once again
Don't cry for me when I'm gone.
