Lyrics Natalie Cole

Natalie Cole

I Can't Cry

Hey, yeah

Mm-mmm...

Emotion overcomes me

In the middle of the night

You've left a space beside me

So I hold my pillow tight

The tears that always find me

Are nowhere near my eyes

There's nothing there

And you would swear

There's a heart that's turned

To stone tonight

After all the times

I let all my feelings show

This time I just can't let go

'Cause I can't cry (can't cry)

Though my tears would fill an ocean

I can't cry (can't cry)

Like I did before

I can't deny (can't cry)

This heart's still badly broken

But I can't cry no more, no

Like a child who runs from danger

I'm trying to catch my breath

But tonight I will surrender

To the pain that I know best

I'm tired of feeling sorry

And doing like I'm told

So I'll take my life into my hands

Resist the urge to lose control

And you're the one who said

It's weak to turn your inside out

But, baby, if you could see me

I'll do you proud

'Cause I can't cry (can't cry)

Though my tears would fill an ocean

I can't cry (can't cry)

Like I did before

Tell me why (can't cry)

This heart's still badly broken

Take back the hands that held me

They no longer keeps me warm

Each lonely night becomes

A memory that keeps me strong

(Strong, hanging on)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...

Oh, oh, oh-oh...

Cry, cry

After all the times

I let all my feelings show

This time I just can't let go

Oh, oh...

'Cause I can't cry (can't cry)

Though my tears would fill an ocean

I can't cry (can't cry)

Like I did before

I can't deny (can't cry)

That my heart's still badly broken

But I can't cry no more

(Can't cry)

Though my tears would fill an ocean

I can't cry (can't cry)

Like I did before

Tell me why (can't cry)

This heart's still badly broken

But I can't cry no more

(Can't cry)

See, I don't have anymore tears

(Can't cry)

Don't have no more time

Mo more tears

(Can't cry)
