I Don't Wanna Cry
Mariah Carey Lyrics

Once again we sit in silence
We are sitting in silence, once again, indicating that we have nothing to say to each other.

After all is said and done
Despite what we have gone through and talked about, we are still left with nothing.

Only emptiness inside us
We feel empty inside because we have lost what once made us happy.

Baby look what we've become
We have become something that we never wanted to be.

We can make a million promises
We can promise to fix things a million times, but it won't change anything.

But we still won't change
Despite our promises, we are not able to change our situation.

It isn't right to stay together
It's not right for us to stay together when we only bring each other pain.

When we only bring each other pain
Our presence in each other's lives is causing us pain.

I don't want to cry
I don't want to cry anymore because it hurts too much.

Nothing in the world
No one or nothing can bring us back to where we used to be.

Could take us back
There is no solution that can make us go back to the happy times.

To where we used to be
We used to be happy, but we can't go back to that place anymore.

Though I've given you my heart and soul (Given you my heart and soul)
I have given you everything I have, but it's not enough to fix our relationship.

I must find a way of letting go
I need to move on and let go of our relationship, even though it hurts.

'Cause baby, I don't want to cry
I don't want to cry anymore because it's too painful for me.

Too far apart to bridge the distance
We are too far apart from each other, and we can't bridge the distance between us.

But something keeps us hanging on and on
We are still holding on to something, even though it's not good for us.

Pretending not to know the difference
We are pretending that everything is okay and ignoring the fact that our relationship has changed.

Denying what we had is gone
We are in denial of the fact that what we had is gone forever.

Every moment we're together
Being together is only making things worse for us.

Is just breaking me down
Being in this situation is emotionally draining, and it's taking a toll on me.

I know we swore it was forever
We promised each other that we would be together forever, but that's not going to happen.

But it hurts too much to stay around
Staying with you hurts too much, and I need to leave for my own well-being.

All the magic's gone
Our relationship doesn't have the magic and happiness it once had.

There's just a shadow of a memory
All that's left of our happy times is a faded memory.

Something just went wrong
Something happened that caused our relationship to fall apart.

We can't go on make-believing
We can't pretend that everything is okay anymore.

I've given you my heart and soul (Given you my heart and soul)
I have given you everything I have, but it wasn't enough to save our relationship.

I must find a way of letting go
I must find the strength to move on and let go of our relationship.

'Cause baby, I don't want to cry
I don't want to cry anymore, and I need to move on to find my happiness.

I don't want to cry
I don't want to cry anymore because it's too painful for me.

I don't want to cry
I don't want to cry anymore because it's too painful for me.
