Don't Feel Like Crying
Sigrid Lyrics

I know I should be ordering takeout
I acknowledge that after a breakup, one is expected to be sad and order food in, but I also understand that wallowing in sadness is a waste of time.

Sitting on my couch, that's what you do
Staying at home and doing nothing is the expected behaviour after a heartbreak.

I know I should be all in my feelings
It is normal to want to be emotional after a breakup.

Staring at the ceiling
One may find themselves lost in thought and staring at the ceiling when they are feeling down.

But here's the truth
I know better than to let my emotions control me and waste my time.

Wallowing in it would be such a waste
Being stuck in sadness and not moving forward is pointless.

That isn't gonna fix it anyway
Being sad won't change what has happened or fix the situation.

Ooh, yeah
A playful expression of the artist's emotions.

I dry my eyes 'cause I don't feel like crying
I am not going to let my emotions overwhelm me; I refuse to be sad or cry.

At least tonight, no, I don't feel like crying (Crying)
For now, I don't want to be sad or dwell on the past.

Hope you don't blame me
I hope you understand where I'm coming from and won't judge my actions.

For what I'm saying
I hope to be honest and open with you.

My heart is aching
I am in pain and hurting.

Do you feel it too?
I wonder if you also hurt the way I do.

I hope you understand that I'm dealing
I am coping with my loss in my own way, and I hope you realize that.

It's my way of healing
I need to handle my pain in my way to recover from it.

But here is the truth
I am not going to let my emotions consume me.

Ooh
A playful expression of the artist's emotions.

(It hasn't hit me yet)
I am still trying to come to terms with my loss.

(And I know if I go home I'm gonna get upset)
I understand that going back to a place with memories of my loss will upset me.

(Yeah, it hasn't hit me yet)
I am still in shock and haven't yet fully realized the implications of my loss.

At least tonight, no, I don't feel like crying (Crying)
For now, I am okay; I don't feel like crying.

Wallowing in it would be such a waste
I don't want to lose my time and energy dwelling on the past.

That isn't gonna fix it anyway
Being sad won't change the situation or fix anything.

Ooh, yeah
A playful expression of the artist's emotions.

I dry my eyes 'cause I don't feel like crying
I won't let myself feel sad or cry.

Ooh, yeah
A playful expression of the artist's emotions.

At least tonight, no, I don't feel like crying
For now, I am okay and don't feel like crying.

Ooh
A playful expression of the artist's emotions.

(It hasn't hit me yet)
I am still trying to come to terms with my loss.

(And I know if I go home I'm gonna get upset)
I recognize that going back to a place that reminds me of my loss will make me upset.

(Yeah, it hasn't hit me yet)
I am still in shock and haven't fully realized what has happened yet.

At least tonight, no, I don't feel like crying (Crying, crying)
I don't feel like crying now or in the future.
