Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
You told me you were leaving on a Sunday
Packed your bags and drove the long way
I stood there in the driveway like a fool
Watching taillights fade, my heart torn in two
[chorus]
And I ain't cryin', no I ain't cryin'
Even though this whole house feels like dying
I ain't cryin', gotta keep on tryin'
Even though the truth is I've been lying
[verse]
I found your letters underneath the bed
Every word you never got to say instead
I used to think that love could fix it all
Now I'm just a man who's learning how to fall
[chorus]
And I ain't cryin', no I ain't cryin'
Even though this whole house feels like dying
I ain't cryin', gotta keep on tryin'
Even though the truth is I've been lying
[bridge]
Maybe strength ain't never crying at all
Maybe it's just standing after you fall
I'll wear this hurt like a badge on my chest
And find a way to give the rest my best
[chorus]
And I ain't cryin', no I ain't cryin'
Even though this whole house feels like dying
I ain't cryin', gotta keep on tryin'
Even though the truth is I've been lying
