Don't Cry For Me
Lisa Stansfield Lyrics

The birds don't sing the same any more
The world doesn't seem as beautiful now that my relationship with you is over

They always sounded happy before
My perception of the world changed when I was with you because I was happy then

But now there's something missing
After our breakup, I feel like something is missing from my life

'Cause they don't see me kissing you no more
The birds no longer see me with you, and neither does anyone else, which is a painful reminder of what I lost

My sky has fallen down through the floor
Life seems hopeless and difficult now that you're gone

I go to sleep with no-one to hold
I miss the comfort of being held by you and feeling loved

In bed when you were near me
Being near you made me feel warm and safe in bed

I didn't really feel the cold at all
Because I had your love to keep me warm, I didn't actually feel the cold temperature in bed

I'm picking up the pieces now
I'm trying to move on and put myself back together

Know I'm gonna get through somehow so
I have hope that I'll get through this difficult time, no matter how challenging it may be

Don't cry for me
I know it's sad, but please don't feel sorry for me

I've gotta make it on my own
I need to learn to stand on my own and be independent without relying on our relationship

Learn to be alone
I'm learning how to cope with being alone and finding happiness within myself

Ooh baby
An expression of sadness and longing for what we once had

I feel like there's a hole in my heart
The pain of our breakup has left a void in my heart that needs to be filled

I've gotta fill it up and make a new start
I need to heal my heart and start anew

I can't sit here forever
I can't keep living in the past and fixating on our relationship

Although it seems I'll never ever get that far
Sometimes it feels like I'll never truly move on, but I have to keep trying

I'm gonna get outside and make some new friends
I'm actively taking steps to move on and socialize with new people

And put me back together again
I'm trying to rebuild myself and feel whole again

It's no use feeling lonely
Being alone and feeling sorry for myself won't solve anything

When I know I'm not the only one who feels like this
I know that others have gone through heartbreak and that I'm not alone in this experience

It's hard baby it's hard
This is a difficult, emotional time for me

But I'm trying
Despite how challenging this is, I'm still putting in effort to move on

Trying my best to make it through
I'm doing everything I can to get through this tough time

I know deep in my heart when I'm crying
Even though I'm sad now, I know I'll eventually be able to look back on this experience and feel grateful for the lessons learned

I'm trying to forgive you
I'm trying to let go of any resentment and forgive you for the pain caused by our breakup
