Janiva Magness - I Won't Cry lyrics

rate me

The harder the words, the colder the night

The closer the hand, the sharper the knife

The tighter I hold on

The further you seem to fly

I get cut, I might bleed

But I won't cry!

The bigger the love, the blacker the bruise

The less that you give

Oh the more I could use

The longer you hold out

The harder I care to try

I get cut, I might bleed

But I won't cry!

Oh the quicker the lie

(I might bleed)

The softer the moan

(I might bleed)

All of those whispers

(I might bleed)

They, they just sink like a stone

(I might bleed)

I think maybe momma we'll just push on

(I might bleed)

Before those fists just fly

I get cut and I might bleed

But I won't cry!

(instrumental break)

The stronger the bond, oh, oh

The tougher the love, oh, oh

There's pain in my heart, oh, oh

Until it just stops

Once more I'll just hold on

Until I get strength to fly

I get cut and I might bleed

But I won't cry! Darlin'

I get cut, I might bleed

But I won't cry! Darlin'

I get cut, I might bleed

But I won't cry!
