don't cry now

you can't abuse a love affair

take for granted what you think is there

let the silence fill the lonely air around us

the truth falls like pieces of dreams

invisible walls that i can't see

how can it happen why can't we just be

what is it makes us act so crazy

riskin' it all

over passion and pain

stripped to the soul

we hold on for safety

and we give it all we know how

so don't cry now

the risk is all in the take

we see it all when it's too late

and we dance so fast

to keep the flame inside

what is it makes us act so crazy

riskin' it all

over passion and pain

stripped to the soul

we hold on for safety

and we give it all we know how

so don't cry now

do you remember

when nothing else mattered

but the fire in your eyes

how do we find ourselves

caught in this battle

of what to do with our lives

what is it makes us act so crazy

riskin' it all

over passion and pain

stripped to the soul

we hold on for safety

and we give it all we know how

we give it all we know how

we give it all we know how

so don't cry now
