Won’t Make Me Cry Too Hard

#VERSE
Some people want love
Most just want sex
The road map of dating
Is a tangled-snake mess
Pulled an index finger muscle
Swiping left on apps
Odds are better at Harrah’s
On roulette and craps
#PRE-CHORUS
But now I’m celebrating
The app matched me with you
A lover who loves making love
Smart and easy-going, too
#VERSE
Now we’re five dates deep
And it’s going so well
I say, “We show promise”
You say, “Too soon to tell”
Your texts fall like snow
Feel cold and distant
I say, “Let’s meet for dinner”
But you’re resistant
#PRE-CHORUS
Something feels off
Like it’s a poisonous feast
Let’s skip that but share dessert
A last round of sweets
#CHORUS
It won’t make me cry
If I’m not the one
Won’t make me cry
If you decide that we’re done
Might leave me bruised
But not permanently scarred
It won’t make me cry...
Won’t make me cry...
Won’t make me cry... too hard
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
I’m no gentle dreamer
Whose heart is exposed
If it’s not a connection
Just slam the door closed
Your kisses disarmed me
Bypassed my scrutiny
Now you’re “Que Sera Sera”
“What will be will be”... so
#PRE-CHORUS
Quit dropping breadcrumbs
If you’ve made up your mind
Take your eyes off the rear-view
Just leave me behind
#CHORUS
It won’t make me cry
If I’m not the one
Won’t make me cry
If you decide that we’re done
Yes, you are hot
But my heart won’t be charred
It won’t make me cry...
Won’t make me cry...
Won’t make me cry... too hard
#BRIDGE
I’m no fortune teller
No crystal ball
No way to tell
What will come of this all
Only you can decide
If you want to move on
But quit giving me hope
If you’re already gone
#INSTRUMENTAL
#PRE-CHORUS
Only you can decide
If you want to move on
But quit giving me hope
If you’re already gone
#CHORUS
It won’t make me cry
If I’m not the one
Won’t make me cry
If you decide that we’re done
My pain is self-torture
For letting down my guard
It won’t make me cry...
Won’t make me cry...
Won’t make me cry... too hard
#OUTRO
It won’t make me cry...
Won’t make me cry...
Won’t make me cry... too hard
It won’t make me cry...
Won’t make me cry...
Won’t make me cry...
