Not Gonna Cry
[Verse 1]
I know it's not supposed to be easy
Pouring out the bottled up feelings
But I didn’t think it would be this hard
Walking to school with a broken heart
And the jacket around my waist feels stupid
I don't know why the hell we do this
Saying I'm sorry like I’m the one
Who's picking us apart for fun

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Why am I feeling like this?
Why am I feeling like shit?
Why am I all in pieces?
I don't even need this, oh-oh
Why am I on the bedroom floor?

[Chorus]
With paranoia and painkillers
Washing away all these feeling
But I know, I know, I know
I'm not gonna cry for you
Choking all these thoughts I'm thinking
You're a cigarette and I'm quitting
But I know, I know, I know
I'm not gonna cry for you
I’m not gonna cry for you
[Verse 2]
You smell like cigarettes and perfume
No one fucks me up like you do
And maybe you thought I would play along
I rather be dancing on my own
Do you really think that I’m stupid?
Of course I heard all the rumors
But all of the grenades you threw
They just made me bulletproof

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm done with feeling like this
Done with feeling like shit
Done with being in pieces
I don’t even need this, oh-oh
I'm done with laying on the floor

[Chorus]
With paranoia and painkillers
Washing away all these feeling
But I know, I know, I know
I'm not gonna cry for you
Choking all these thoughts I'm thinking
You’re a cigarette and I'm quitting
But I know, I know, I know
I'm not gonna cry for you
I'm not gonna cry for you
I'm not gonna cry for you
I'm not gonna cry for you
