[Verse 1]

You don't have to watch those tail lights pull out of the drive

You don't have to wake up to nobody on your side of the bed

You don't have to find a way to fix a broken heart

You don't have to spend your nights in the back of some old bar, trying to forget

So why are you leaving with tears in your eyes?


[Chorus]

You don't get to cry, to say that I'll be fine

You don't get to tell me everything's gonna be alright

You don't get to ask if I need anything

Stand there and act like you give a damn about me

When you're the one that's telling me goodbye

You don't get to cry


[Verse 2]

I'm the one who's gotta feel like I did something wrong

Just sitting in this empty house and staring at my phone, wanting you to call

You're the one that's giving up and walking out on me


[Chorus]

But you don't get to cry, or say that I'll be fine

You don't get to tell me everything's gonna be alright

You don't get to ask if I need anything

Stand there and act like you give a damn about me

When you're the one that's telling me goodbye

You don't get to cry


[Bridge]

I ain't trying to say to you that leaving can't be tough

I know it can't be easy walking out on us


[Chorus]

You don't get to cry, or say that I'll be fine

You don't get to tell me everything's gonna be alright

You don't get to ask if I need anything

Stand there and act like you give a damn about me

When you're the one that's telling me goodbye

You don't get to cry

You don't get to cry
