In heavy air I feel it creep

And our eyes can't meet

A poison word that you chose

And the distance grows.

And I don't wanna cry no more

And I don't wanna die a little more every day

And I don't wanna cry no more

And I don't wanna die a little more every day.

To pull yourself from harm

To be the braver one

To raise a weary hand

In a house that's built on sand

To wear it like a crown

To kick before you drown

To fight it and to cry no more.

Will I be the warrior?

Or will the axe shine clean?

Steely eyed, your blood'll burn

I will save our lives.

And I don't wanna cry no more

And I don't wanna die a little more every day

And I don't wanna cry no more

And I don't wanna die a little more every day.

To pull yourself from harm

To be the braver one

To raise a weary hand

In a house that's built on sand

To wear it like a crown

To kick before you drown

To fight it and to cry no more.

Cry no more

I don't wanna die a little more every day

I don't wanna cry no more

I don't wanna die a little more every day.
