I might find a letter with "I love you" that you wrote

I might feel a lump get caught up in my throat

But I won't let a teardrop fall

I might see a lipstick at some counter in her shade

It might remind me of her taking you away

Oh but I....



Chorus:

I'm not gonna cry

I won't give the satisfaction to the past

I've gotta fight this to be free and I won't fall down on my knees

I'm gonna spread my wings, hit the wind, never look back

It's time to fly

I'm not gonna cry



I remember every lying word you ever said

And all the lonely places that they led

Oh but I'm not going there

Cause I found a way to rise above it all

So I won't be there to answer when you call

I'll be over it by then



Chorus:

I'm not gonna cry

I won't give the satisfaction to the past

I've gotta fight this to be free and I won't fall down on my knees

I'm gonna spread my wings, hit the wind, never look back

It's time to fly

I'm not gonna cry



I might need a friend sometimes

I might barely make it by

But you oughtta know by now

Wells run dry

I'm not gonna cry

Oh I've got to be stronger



Chorus:

I'm not gonna cry

I won't give the satisfaction to the past

I've gotta fight this to be free and I won't fall down on my knees

I'm gonna spread my wings, hit the wind, never look back

It's time to fly

I'm not gonna cry

I'm not gonna cry
