Not Worth Your Tears

Don’t cry tonight,
Just not for me
I’m not the kid
I used to be

I’ve changed inside;
It’s not you to blame
For igniting my torch
With Satan’s flame

Don’t shed a tear
Not for my sake
Even though
My pain’s not fake

The reason to
Hold strong tonight
Is to give me courage
To lose the fight

If I just know
That you love me, too
Then my soul will forgive
What I’ve put you through

I’ll be able to leave,
Let my spirit free
But only if you promise
Never to cry for me

If a whimper escapes
Those perfect lips;
If a shudder runs
Down through your hips

If I know I left you
With the gift of regret
Then I’ll travel to hell,
That you can bet

I wish I never
Had made you sad,
I wish I could hold on
To everything we had

If only I were
As strong as you are
Then I wouldn’t need redemption
From a place so cold and far
