"I Won't Waste Tears on You"

Deep within the stillness of my heart
I know you never meant to hurt me.
I'm waiting for the ache to start,
For the pain to make it hard to see...

(Chorus) But I won't waste tears on you.
I promised myself not to cry.
What else can I do
When I find it too hard to try?

The empty feeling deep inside
always comes from being alone.
When you left a part of me died,
a part of me I'd never known.

The wounds in time will heal,
I will somehow keep moving on,
gone will be the ache that I feel,
I keep heading towards a new dawn...

(Chorus)

The rain that falls instead of my tears
renews me in so many ways
behind are the shadows of all my fears
They left me when you went away!

That's why I know that no matter what,
I won't waste my tears on you
the cards have been stacked and been cut-
I may have lost you, but you lost me too.

I won't waste tears,
I don't need to cry,
I am free myself,
I can touch the sky,
I don't need you,
I am better alone,
I remember with you,
The stars never shone,
The sun never rose,
The grass never grew,
The time never stopped,
The birds never flew,
All because I was with you.

I won't waste my tears on you.
