lyrics

I've been talking to the walls here
I don't know how to make them listen
they've heard every conversation
every hard talk that I've been given
I wish they'd hear these words and learn to understand
cause there ain't nobody here that's gonna hold my hand

I wake up when the music stops
and I find myself unable
unable to decipher my bed
from this kitchen table
I think most nights I've been finding my relief
talking to the walls and talking in my sleep

but I don't want you to cry anymore
Not over me
don't fight anymore unless it's for
something you believe
something you believe

I don't know how else to put it
I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone
when I get to where I'm going or maybe
back where I am from
and then I'll finally make my peace there
when I reach the great beyond
I'll replay our conversations and
your love that kept me strong

but I don't want you to cry anymore
No, not over me
don't fight anymore unless it's for
something you believe
and don't hide anymore
I know you better than you think
I know it's hard, but don't cry over me
don't cry over me
don't cry over me
don't cry over me

I hope I see you when you hold your baby's hand
but if that day never comes, I hope you'll understand
