Baby, Don't Cry

Saying this won’t mean a thing,

For I shan’t stop what I’m doing.

I fain doing these things

Though it breaks my heart greatly.

I have to do these, no matter what,

No matter how these deeply cut.

These are for our own sakes.

These are for your own good.

They say I have time to hold on

And enough strength to carry it,

But I know what’ll happen if I press on,

And to give up is what I need.

So, baby, don’t cry,

For the loneliness in your eyes kills me.

I know you can quit it if you try,

So, cheer up, but I’m sorry.
