I Don't Wanna Cry

Mariah Carey

---

Once again we sit in silence 
After all is said and done 
Only emptiness inside us 
Baby, look what we've become 
We can make a million promises 
But we still won't change 
It isn't right to stay together 
When you only bring each other pain 

I don't wanna cry 
Don't wanna cry 
Nothing in the world 
Could take us back 
To where we used to be 
Though I've given you my heart and soul 
I must find a way of letting go 
'Cause baby, I don't wanna cry 

Too far apart to bridge the distance 
But something keeps us hanging on and on 
Pretending not to know the difference 
Denying what we had is gone 
Every moment we're together 
It's just breaking me down 
I know we swore it was forever 
But it hurts too much to stay around 

I don't wanna cry 
Don't wanna cry 
Nothing in the world 
Could take us back 
To where we used to be 
Though I've give you my heart and soul 
I must find a way of letting go 
'Cause baby, I don't wanna cry 

All the magic's gone 
There's just a shadow of a memory 
Something just went wrong 
We can't go on make-believing 

I don't wanna cry 
Don't wanna cry 
Nothing in the world 
Could take us back 
To where we used to be 
Though I've give you my heart and soul 
I must find a way of letting go 
'Cause baby, I don't wanna cry
