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
