The harder the words, the colder the night The closer the hand, the sharper the knife The tighter I hold on 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 bruise The less that you give The more I could use The longer you hold out The farther I have to fly I get cut and I might bleed (And I might bleed) But I won't cry (But I won't cry) The quicker the lie (I might bleed) The softer the moan (I might bleed) All of those whispers (I might bleed) They just sink like a stone (I might bleed) I think momma should just push on (I might bleed) Before those fists just fly I get cut and I might bleed (And I might bleed) But I won't cry (But I won't cry) The stronger the bond (Whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa) The tougher the loss (Whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa) The pain in my heart (Whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa) Until it just stops (Whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa) Once more I'll just hold on (Whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa) Until I get strength to fly (Whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa) I get cut and I might bleed (And I might bleed) But I won't cry (But I won't cry) I get cut, I might bleed (I might bleed) But I won't cry (But I won't cry) I get cut and I might bleed But I won't cry
