I'm Not Going To Cry - from the 1989 Wreckless Eric album Le Beat Group Electrique

I've got a heavy old heart
Black hole in my mind
Rain falling where the sun used to shine
But I'm not gonna cry
I'm not gonna cry about it
I'm not gonna cry
I'm gonna be a man
And take it on the chin
I'm not gonna give in to this thing
I'm not gonna cry
I'm not gonna cry this time
I'm not gonna cry
When it hurts its hurts for just so long
There's a pain because things are so wrong
But everybody knows that the black of night
Is blackest before the dawn
I'm gonna use that time to hide
I'm not gonna let you see me cry
But in the deep dark dead of night
I'll turn this song into a lie
I'm not gonna to cry
