I'm not crying No, not this time I've swallowed my pride Behind my tears I'm in a better place And when tomorrow comes It'll be a new day I'm trying, crying, defining me An intended purpose, I will lead Happy within my skin I can breathe I'm not crying No, not this time I've swallowed my pride Behind my tears I'm in a better place And when tomorrow comes It'll be a new day Each step I take I stride, with pride One day I take in time, it'll be a new day I'm wanting, needing, defying The negativity held inside Hiding the pain of regret Inflicted doubt of reality Weighing down the hardship Of a broken love I'm not crying No, not this time I've swallowed my pride Behind my tears I'm in a better place And when tomorrow comes It'll be a new day But no, not this time You won't break me Hiding pain with a smile Laughing loudly, I stand tall Shunning doubt with great pride For being me One day at a time It'll be a new day Brighter days lie ahead A new script I'll write Unknowing of What tomorrow brings And when tomorrow comes I'll be better off Without you
