вырыпаева I won’t scream

I so wanted to be wise, to give love one more try
So wanted to stay proud, to just look the other way
Powder spills, I lose my ground, my balance slips awry
Smudged my lipstick—no, I won’t scream, I won’t scream today

Gotta pull myself together, hold my head up high
Gotta pull myself together, breathe and walk away
No more fear, no pointless pain—no use asking why
He’s not worth it, not worth it… not worth it anyway

I won’t scream
Won’t break down in tears
No, I won’t scream
Just breathe—disappear
No, don’t you cry!
Don’t cry, I beg you, no!
He’s not worth it! Not worth it…
Not worth it… I know

This will pass
I’ll be happy again
I face the mirror, swear to me
No more chains
Shoulders straight, I walk out tall
Cold smile—I say, “I forgive”
Whisper low…
“Goodbye… I forgive”

I won’t scream
Won’t break down in tears
No, I won’t scream
Just breathe—disappear
No, don’t you cry!
Don’t cry, I beg you, no!
He’s not worth it! Not worth it…
Not worth it… I know

…Goodbye
