She use to sit there by the window Worrying half to death, waiting for my car Not knowing if or when I'd come home And when I finally would, she'd be right there at the door She used to cry and carry on Those were the days but now they're gone She doesn't cry anymore She don't wait up at night, she don't put up a fight Her heart doesn't ache like before I went too far, I guess she's had enough She's given up on love, she doesn't cry anymore What was I thinking? I must've been crazy 'Cause when she needed me, I was never there What I wouldn't do for one more chance now? Just one ray of hope, a sign that she still cares No use trying to apologize, no use trying to dry her eyes She doesn't cry anymore She don't wait up at night, she don't put up a fight Her heart doesn't ache like before I went too far, I guess she'd had enough She's given up on love, she doesn't cry anymore I guess she's had enough She's given up on love, she doesn't cry anymore
