Too young, too fast
Thought I was ready but my timing's bad, yeah
One life, too much to see
And I said hey, I've had better days
Yeah, I missed that train, 'bout a mile away
But please don't cry for me
If you thought I was down, if you thought I was losin' sleep
Well, I'm still goin' hard eight days a week

I can hold my breath when it gets too hard to breathe
Every lonely night are teardrops in the sea
So don't cry for me
Don't cry for me, don't cry for me
No, no, please don't cry, please don't cry for me
Don't cry for me
Bad luck, bad love
I climbed the ladder, it was never enough

No, I bite my tongue
I sang the words wrong
Somebody told me, somebody told me I was done
I'm still pickin' up the pieces from when I was number one
If you thought I was down, if you thought I was losin' sleep
Well, I'm still goin' hard eight days a week
I can hold my breath when it gets too hard to breathe
Every lonely night are teardrops in the sea
Oh, so don't cry for me
Don't cry for me, don't cry for me
No, no, please don't cry, please don't cry for me
If you thought I was down, if you thought I was losin' sleep

Yeah, well, I'm still goin' hard eight days a week
And I can hold my breath if it gets too hard to breathe
Every lonely night are teardrops in the sea
So don't cry for me, don't cry
Oh, don't cry for me, don't cry for me
Don't cry
No, no, please don't cry, please don't cry for me
Don't cry for me
