We knew this day was coming,
That's why we were running from it
Like we could out run it
It wasn't like we had planned it
But I understand that
We got to do what we've got to doI know it be painful,
But never this painful
Now I know what heartbreak feels like
And I'm glad you were in my lifeBut I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna pretend
Like my feelings aren't gonna hurt
And I don't wanna lie,
Look you in the eye,
Tell you somehow this is gonna work
You're going away
Here is where I stay
With the memories of what it used to be
The memories of you and meI don't wanna cry
Wanna cry
Wanna cry
Wanna cry
I don't wanna cry
Now I'm checking a review
Eyes filling with tears
You make it so hard to move on
It's not that I want to
But boy it's impossible
To love you like I wantI don't want to risk it
'Cause I know the distance
Is just bound to drive us apartAnd it already breaks my heart'Cause I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna pretend
Like my feelings aren't gonna hurt
And I don't wanna lie,
Look you in the eye,
Tell you somehow this is gonna work
You're going away
Here is where I stay
With the memories of what it used to be
The memories of you and meI'm not saying that I'm not in love with you
(That I'm not in love with you)
Really I'm just kind of doing the right thing for you
(Doing the right thing for you)And I gotta be the strong one
Gotta call it off baby
If you want to put the blame on me
Then that's fine with me
But I don't want to cryWe knew this day was comingThat's why we were running from itI don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna pretend
Like my feelings aren't gonna hurtAnd I don't wanna lie,
Look you in the eye,
Tell you somehow this is gonna work
You're going away
Here is where I stay
With the memories of what it used to be
The memories of you and meI don't wanna cryBut I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna pretend
Like my feelings aren't gonna hurt
And I don't wanna lie,
Look you in the eye,
Tell you somehow this is gonna work
You're going away
Here is where I stay
With the memories of what it used to be
The memories of you and meI don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry
