The song Don't Wanna Cry by Juju is an emotionally charged track that details the struggle of letting go and moving on from a relationship. The first verse, "I've gotta find a way, so let me go, because baby I don't wanna cry," expresses the artist's desire to free herself from her emotions and the pain of her situation. The second verse talks about the futility of waiting for something that may never come and the realization that holding on just causes more emotional pain.
The lyrics then shift to expressing the difficulties of relationships and how it is easy to become divided into enemies and allies, ultimately leading to a place where one can't protect the people they care about. Alongside this, the song juxtaposes this pain with the hope and determination to move forward, to find a way to continue on and assure the listener that even in the face of heartbreak, there is always a road to follow.
Overall, the song balances hope and despair, pain and triumph, love and loss in a beautiful and heartfelt way that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the emotional toil of separation and moving on.
