lyrics

I've been standing still for 30 days
stagnant, not making any change.
my passion has dust on it
i have stains from the tears that have dried on my face
i'm not gonna cry.
not tonight, not tonight.
I say it like it's true but in my mind i know it's a lie.
there's no need to tell me something that I already know.
They say it's better if you talk about it
sometimes I don't want to talk
sometimes, a lot of times I don't feel like I can
I want to sit in silence but in someone's eyes
see inside they're screaming just as loud as I am.

I'm not going to cry.

You see i'm trying more than i'm not trying
i'm surviving more than i'm dying
but that doesn't mean that i'm alive
or living life.
it just means that i'm passing by and passing time
sure as hell making mistakes and learning not to make them twice
no, i'm not gonna cry.

I'm lost in the sea but trying to find my way to the shore
I know that i can get there again
cause i've been there many times before.
but my legs are tired and my arms aren't strong enough
not strong enough to keep swimming.
