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
