Mini-critique N°338

Paroles :

Ooh, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Once again we sit in silence

After all is said and done

Only emptiness inside us

Baby, look what we've become, oh

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

(Given you my heart and soul)

I must find a way of letting go

'Cause, baby, I don't wanna cry

Ooh, I don't wanna cry

Hey, yeah, yeah

Too far apart to bridge the distance

But something keeps us hangin' 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 given you my heart and soul

(Given you my heart and soul) ooh-ooh

I must find a way of letting go

'Cause, baby, I don't wanna cry

Ooh, I don't wanna cry, no, no, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

All the magic's gone, there's just a shadow of a memory

Something just went wrong, we can't go on make-believing

On make-believing

'Cause 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

(Given you my heart and soul) ooh, yeah

And I've given you my heart and soul

(Given you my heart and soul) ooh, baby

I must find a way of letting go

'Cause, baby, I don't wanna cry

Ooh-oh, cry

I don't wanna cry

Mm-mm, I don't wanna cry
