Well, I wanted you to love me but I never thought you did,
so I wanted you to hate me or something instead,
Wanted your reaction so bad it hurt,
and I tried everything,
but nothing would work.
Well, it's hard to show your love when you're broken inside,
and I couldn't see the pain that you had to hide,
I was hard on you 'cause I misunderstood,
but I know you did the best you could,
And I could hear you say...
Don't cry for me,
Don't you cry, little girl,
Don't you know I'm free?
You can save your tears for a lonely world,
but don't you cry for me.
Well, I wanted you to make it, but it never worked out,
And I wanted you to know what it was all about,
I wanted you to be something that never was,
but a winner looks different than you think he does, oh.
Well, I wanted you to love me like you never knew how,
and I regret all the things I didn't do now,
But the past is gone and my prayers came true,
but the answers look different than you think they do,
I can hear you say...
Don't cry for me,
Don't you cry, little girl,
Don't you know I'm free?
You can save your tears for a lonely world,
but don't you cry for me, ooh.
Don't you cry for me,
Don't you cry, little girl,
Don't you know I'm free?
You can save your tears for a lonely world
don't you cry for me,
Don't you cry for me,
Don't you cry, little girl,
Don't you know I'm free?
You can save your tears for a lonely world,
but don't you cry for me, ooh.
Oh, oh.
