[Refrain]
Thought I'd cry for you forever, but I couldn't, so I didn't
People's children die and they don't even cry forever
Thought I'd see your face in my mind for all time
But I don't even remember what your ears looked like

[Chorus]
And the clock still strikes midnight and noon
And the sun still rises and so does the moon
Birds still migrate south and people move on
Even though I'm no longer in your arms
Thought the mountains would crumble and the rivers would bend
But I thought all wrong, the world did not end
Guess the maps will just have to stay the same for a while
Didn't even need therapy to rehabilitate my smile

[Refrain]
Thought I'd cry for you forever, but I couldn't, so I didn't
People's children die and they don't even cry forever
Thought I'd see your face in my mind for all time
But I don't even remember what your ears looked like

[Chorus]
And the clock still strikes midnight and noon
And the sun still rises and so does the moon
Birds still migrate south and people move on
Even though I'm no longer in your arms
Thought the mountains would crumble and the rivers would bend
But I thought all wrong, baby, I thought all wrong, world did not end
The maps will just have to stay the same for a while
Didn't even need therapy to rehabilitate my smile
Rehabilitate my smile
[Outro]
Thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't, so I didn't
Thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't, so I didn't
Oh, I thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't, so I didn't
Baby, I thought I'd cry for you forever
But I didn't
