Regina Spektor

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…
