The harder the words, the colder the night
The closer the hand, the sharper the knife
The longer you hold out
The further you seem to fly
I get cut and I might bleed
But I won’t cry!
The bigger the love, the blacker the birds
Unless they can give
The more I could use
The longer you hold out
The further you seem to fly
I get cut and I might bleed
But I won’t cry!
The quicker the lie
(I might bleed)
The softer the moan
(I might bleed)
All of those whisper
(I might bleed)
They just sink like a stone
(I might bleed)
I think momma should push on
(I might bleed)
Before those … just fly
I get cut and I might bleed
But I won’t cry!
The stronger the bond, oh, oh
The tougher the loss, oh, oh
The pain in my heart, oh, oh
Until it just stops
Once more I’ll just hold on
Until I get strength to fly
I get cut and I might bleed
But I won’t cry!
I get cut and I might bleed
But I won’t cry!
I get cut and I might bleed
But I won’t cry!
I get cut and I might bleed
But I won’t cry!
