Lyrics
[verse]
I learned to pack my heart in boxes fast
Learned to smile while walking out the door
I've done this dance so many times it's passed
The point where leaving even hurts anymore
[chorus]
I never cry when the curtain's falling
I never break when you walk away
I've built a wall so high there's no recalling
The boy who used to beg for you to stay
[verse]
You want the tears, you want to see me shatter
But I rehearsed this exit long before
The quiet way I leave, it doesn't matter
I've locked the feeling somewhere off the floor
[chorus]
I never cry when the curtain's falling
I never break when you walk away
I've built a wall so high there's no recalling
The boy who used to beg for you to stay
[bridge]
Maybe if you knew the cost of all this armor
You'd understand why I don't make a sound
Every goodbye made me a little calmer
And a little further from the ground
[chorus]
I never cry when the curtain's falling
I never break when you walk away
I've built a wall so high there's no recalling
The boy who used to beg for you to stay
