[Verse 1]
She turned her back on the sleeping town
As night turned into day
Flash flood hit the road
Swept her past away
Turned her face into the wind
Covered up her eyes
Tears came just like rain
Breaking all her ties

[Chorus]
Cry, cry, but don't look back
You had to leave some time
Cry, cry, but don't look back

[Verse 2]
One day she meets someone
A woman out of line
She says, "Stop a while
Be a friend of mine"
Things you wanted to explain
She will not let you try
Wind blow, came or go
But never tell me why

[Chorus]
Cry, cry, but don't look back
You had to leave some time
Cry, cry, but don't look back
Cry, cry, but don't look back
You had to leave some time
Cry, cry
[Bridge]
Too much pressure, too much fight to fight
Too many brothers standing in your light
Too many uncles calling late at night
Cry, cry

[Verse 3]
Hearts that stand upon the brink
Longing to be free
You can choose your life
Choose your family
You can choose your kind of love
Let 'em criticise
Tears came just like rain
Don't let 'em blind your eyes

[Chorus]
Cry, cry, but don't look back
You had to leave some time
Cry, cry, but don't look back
Cry, cry, don't look back
You had to leave some time
Cry, cry, don't look back, don't look back
Cry, cry, don't look back, don't look back
Cry, cry, you had to leave, you had to leave some time
Cry, cry, I said don't look back, don't look back
Cry, cry
