No Tears Tonight Lyrics

I've known you for far too long to admit the pain.
I've suffered far too many thunderstorms
To let myself break down in the rain.
You like the way I pick up the broken pieces
When you've thrown your cup
But this time, baby, I'm not the one who's getting up.

Holding me, hurting me,
Loving, deserting me over and over again.

But you won't have the pleasure of seeing me on the ground.
I'm jumping off this terrible merry-go-round.
Your temper won't make me cry;
You won't get any of my tears tonight.

You like to go further and further just to see how I feel.
You watch the pain that drives through my features
'Cause my feelings are hard to conceal.
But tonight I'm planning resistance
And I'll keep my words cold as ice;
This time baby it's me who's rolling the dice!

Holding me, hurting me
Loving, deserting me over and over again.

But you won't have the pleasure of seeing me on the ground.
I'm jumping off this terrible merry-go-round.
Your temper won't make me cry;
You won't get any of my tears tonight.

Go just for a moment, go just for a while.
Turn around 'cause I don't want you here tonight.

Holding me, hurting me
Loving, deserting me over and over again.

But you won't have the pleasure of seeing me on the ground.
I'm jumping off this terrible merry-go-round.
Your temper won't make me cry;
You won't get any of my tears tonight
