Don't cry

Don't cry for me now that I'm gone

for you never once cried while I was alone.

You say it is my fault that we don't cuddle

how many tears were shed before?

All those years you were never tired

you just wanted to talk to your friends

I went to bed alone and cried sometimes

now it's my fault?

For years I waited, and waited, and waited

but you were always too busy for me

you say its my fault that I don't share your interests

but when did you ever share mine?

You said my music was crap

you said my shows were dumb

you berated me to all your so called friends

and you wonder why now I am numb.

It's not a joke when you mock me

it's not okay in the least

I grew tired of it, there's no shock here

so don't you dare shed a single tear.

I stopped trying because whats the point

you constantly said you'd rather smoke a joint.

I tried for years to get you to see the light

but in the end I just got to tired to fight.

So don't cry for me when I am gone

don't cry for me when you're finally alone.

You married me to get away from your parents

now you are fully alone.

Don't cry for me, I don't want tears

I don't want to put up with it for more years.

I'm done and washing my hands of you

I'm moving on, that's right, we're through

Yeah I made mistakes in the past

I did things I have regrets that'll last

but the one thing that I know is 100% true

is that you won't cry for me, and I won't cry for you.
