Thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't, so I didn't
People's children die and they don't even cry forever
Thought I'd see your face in my mind for all time
But I don't even remember what your ears looked like
And the clock still strikes
Midnight and noon
And the sun still rises
And so does the moon
Birds still migrate south and
People move on
Even though I'm no longer in your arms
Thought the mountains would crumble
And the rivers would bend
But, but I thought all wrong
The world did not end
The maps will just have to stay the same for a while
Didn't even need therapy
To rehabilitate my smile
Thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't, so I didn't
People's children die and they don't even cry forever
Thought I'd see your face in my mind for all time
But I don't even remember what your ears looked like
And the clock still strikes
Midnight and noon
And the sun still rises
And so does the moon
Birds still migrate south and
People move on
Even though I'm no longer in your arms
Thought the mountain would crumble
And the rivers would bend
But I thought all wrong, baby, I thought all wrong
The world did not end
The maps will just have to stay the same for a while
Didn't even need therapy
To rehabilitate my smile
Rehabilitate my smile
Thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't, so I didn't
Thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't, so I didn't
Oh, oh, I thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't so I didn't
Baby, I thought I'd cry for you forever
But I didn't
