Thought I'd cry for you forever 

But I couldn't so I didn't 

People's children die and they don't even cry forever 

Thought I'd see your face in my mind for all time 

But I don't even remember what your ears looked like 



And the clock still strikes midnight and noon 

And the sun still rises and so does the moon 

Birds still migrate south and people move on 

Even though I'm no longer in your arms 

Thought the mountain would crumble 

And the rivers would bend 

But I thought all wrong and the world did not end 

Guess the maps will just have to stay the same for a while 

Didn't even need therapy to rehabilitate my smile 

Rehabilitate my smile 



Thought I'd cry for you forever 

But I couldn't so I didn't
