Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You said it soft, like it would hurt less But silence echoes through the mess Your shadow’s still on every wall But I won’t beg, I won’t crawl I poured my soul, I gave it all Now I’m the one left taking the fall But I’ve been down, I’ve been through worse And I don’t break — I burn, I burst --- [Pre-Chorus] You think I’m gonna fall apart But I’ve been stitching up this heart Tear-stained nights behind closed doors Not this time — not anymore --- [Chorus] I’m not gonna cry — not for you Done with drowning in shades of blue Took my tears, now I’ll take my pride Walk away with my head held high I gave you grace, I gave you light Now I’m done — and I’ll be fine I’m not gonna cry (Not this time) --- [Verse 2] I’ve got mascara like armor now You won’t see me breaking down You lost someone who would’ve stayed But I’ve got dreams that won’t fade Your ghost can haunt a different room I’m making space for something true This chapter’s closed, I’ve turned the page And I’m still standing on this stage --- [Pre-Chorus] You think I’m glass about to break But I’m a storm, I’m an earthquake Let the rain fall, let it pour But my tears? Not anymore --- [Chorus] I’m not gonna cry — not for you Not for the lies I once thought were true I held on tight, I broke in two But now I’m done clinging to you I gave you gold, you wanted rust Now I’m rising from the dust I’m not gonna cry (Not this time) --- [Instrumental Break – soaring strings, dramatic drums] (whispers fading in: “I’m not gonna cry… I’m not gonna…”) --- [Bridge – stripped back, then building] I won’t let your silence wreck me Won’t let your leaving define me This pain? It’s fuel, it’s fire Watch me climb higher… higher… --- [Final Chorus – full power, layered harmonies] I’m not gonna cry — I survived More than love that’s built on lies You lost me, now I’ve found me too I’m not the girl you thought you knew This is my voice, my truth, my fight My tears stay locked away tonight I’m not gonna cry (Not this time) No — I’m not gonna cry
