I Don't Cry Like I Used To

I don't cry like I used to;

I watch my little girl;

Walked down the aisle;

Held my breath and tried to smile;

Everyone around me had tears in their eyes;

Mine just stayed inside;

I don't cry like I used to;

Used to flood the whole damn room;

Now the water's somewhere deeper;

I don't cry like I used to;

My old man passed;

On a Tuesday noon;

I sat alone in my old room;

My mother asked me why

I looked so dry;

I said, mama, so am I;

I don't cry like I used to;

Used to flood the whole damn room;

Now the water's somewhere deeper;

I don't cry like I used too;

I still feel it, don't you doubt;

It just doesn't make its way out;

Maybe I'm tough, maybe I'm numb;

Maybe the river's too tired to run;

Now don't cry like I used to;

Used to flood the whole damn room;

Now the water's somewhere deeper;

I don't cry;

Like I used to;

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding;

Ding ding ding ding;

Oh, no;
