Don't be so hard on yourself Those tears are for someone else I hear your voice on the phone I hear you feel so alone My baby Oh my baby Please my baby My baby When we were young And truth was paramount We were older then, And we lived a life without any doubt Those memories, They seem so long ago What's become of them? (They've all gone for sure) When you feel like me I want you to know Don't cry Not alone Don't cry tonight, my baby Don't cry you'll always be loved Don't cry tonight my baby Today I dreamed Of friends I had before And I wonder why The ones who care don't call anymore My feelings hurt But you know I overcome the pain And I'm stronger now There can't be a fire unless there's a flame Don't cry Your not alone Don't cry tonight, my baby Don't cry you'll always be loved Don't cry oh Limousines and sycophants Don't leave me now, 'Cause I'm afraid what you've done to me Is now the wolf In my bed In my head In my head In my head The challenges, we took were hard enough They get harder now Even when we think that we've had enough Don't feel alone, 'Cause it's I you understand I'm your sedative, Take a piece of me whenever you can Don't cry you're not alone (don't be so hard on yourself) Don't cry tonight my baby (these tears are for someone else) Don't cry you'll always be loved (I hear your voice on the phone) Don't cry tonight sweet baby (I hear you fear so alone) Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't you cry, cry Don't cry 'cause you still be loved Don't cry Don't cry tonight, oh My baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby My baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby My baby, my baby, my baby Don't cry tonight You'll still be loved
