This runaway train of love keeps going off track
I've ridden these rails before but, I'm never going back
I keep writing these letters of love tied in ribbons and bows
Momma told me you were no damn good and now everybody knows
But before you go...baby there is something you should know

I won't cry for you
I won't lie for you
I won't waste another day,
Wonderin' how to make you stay
I've been a fool 'til now but now I'm through
Baby I won't cry for you

Your hurricane heart won't quit, it keeps pounding on me
I tried to ride out that storm but I had to break free
I keep writing these letters of love tied in ribbons and bows
Daddy told me you would do me wrong and now everybody knows
But before you go...baby there is something you should know

I won't cry for you
I won't lie for you
I won't waste another year,
Like I've wasted all these tears
I've been a fool 'til now but now I'm through
Baby I won't cry for you

And it's a long way down the bend
But this broken heart will mend
I know you don't believe I'll ever leave
But I'm already gone

I won't cry for you
I won't lie for you
I won't waste another year
Like I've wasted all these tears
I've been a fool 'til now but now I'm through

Baby I won't cry for you
