I Won't Cry Lyrics & Chords By Janiva Magness

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!
