I might bite my lip, look down at my shoes I might clench my fist or just leave the room But, I'm not gonna cry, not one single drop 'Cause once I get started out, I may never stop I might even laugh, right in your face When you come out and ask, oh, if I'll be okay But, I'm not gonna cry, not one single drop 'Cause once I get started out, I may never stop It's gonna take the night of fighting with all I've got To keep the first tear from falling down But, if I don't hold the waters back The dam is gonna crack And I'll be damned if I'm gonna drown So, I'm not gonna cry If that's what you thought 'Cause once I get started out I may never stop No, I'm not gonna cry Not one single drop 'Cause once I get started I may never stop So, I might bite my lip Look down at my shoes
