Lyrics

You're a mystery to me

You are a source of puzzlement to me.

You make your own reality

You construct your own version of reality.

And I wonder who you are beneath your skin

I'm curious about who you truly are beneath your external facade.

Guess I'll never know for sure

I realize I may never discover your true self.

But I was save behind my door

I felt secure within my boundaries until you managed to re-enter.

Can't think how I let you talk your way back in

I can't comprehend how I allowed you to persuade your way back into my life.

Should have known better then

I should have been more cautious back then.

But I know better now..

However, I have gained wisdom since then.


You can't hurt me anymore

Your actions cannot inflict pain on me anymore.

I'm not the fool I was before

I have learned from past mistakes and am no longer a naive person.

And I ain't gonna cry again

I refuse to shed tears again over the situation.

I don't believe the lies you tell

I don't trust the falsehoods you communicate.

So take your heart and go to hell

Please take your emotions and leave.

Cause I ain't gonna cry again..

I won't allow myself to cry again.


You think I need you - but I don't

You assume I depend on you, but I don't.

You think I'll break down - but I won't

You believe I will emotionally collapse, but I won't.

You've had everything you're gonna get from me

You've already received all you can from me.

Saw your pleasure in my pain

I witnessed your satisfaction in my suffering.

And it release me from my chains

Your actions liberated me from emotional bondage.

And I woke up to my own insanity

I woke up to the irrationality of my own actions.

Waiting for changes that were

I waited for changes that were never going to happen.

Never gonna come...


You can't hurt me anymore

I have grown wiser and am no longer the naive person I once was.

I'm not the fool I was before

I won't allow your lies to affect me.

And I ain't gonna cry again

I won't cry over the situation again.

I don't believe the lies you tell

I don't believe the deceptive stories you tell.

So take your heart and go to hell

Please take your emotions and leave for good.

Cause I ain't gonna cry again..

I won't let myself cry again.

Now that I see you're twisted

Now that I see your true, distorted nature.

I don't know how missed it before

I can't understand how I overlooked it previously.

Maybe that's what drew me to you

Perhaps your twisted nature was initially intriguing to me.

But this was now and that was then

But that was in the past, and things are different now.

You'll never make me cry again..

You will never evoke tears from me again.


You can't hurt me anymore

Your actions can no longer cause me harm.

I'm not the fool I was before

I have gained wisdom and won't repeat past mistakes.

And I ain't gonna cry again

I refuse to shed tears again over the situation.

I don't believe the lies you tell

I don't believe the deceptive stories you tell.

So take your heart and go to hell

Please take your emotions and leave for good.

Cause I ain't gonna cry again

I won't let myself cry again.
