[Intro – immediate female vocal, rhythmic, no instrumental intro]

Stop, stop now, these falling tears,
I've been crying far too many years.
Don't wash all my dreams away,
This broken heart will heal someday.

[Verse 1 ]
Drink on the table, I stare at my glass,
Fighting the memories, holding them back.
One lonely tear is falling tonight,
How will I live without you by my side?

[Pre-Chorus]

You hold my hand and you wish me well,
"No love lasts forever," that's what you tell.
You were my weakness, my beautiful lie,
Still all your shadows follow me at night.

[Chorus – powerful - Violoncello ]
I won't be crying, I won't beg you!!
I want to live, I want love that's true!
All that I need is a little more light,
My brand-new life is starting tonight.

I won't be crying, I won't beg you!!
I won't let heartache tear me in two.
This river of tears has to end tonight,
I'm taking my life back, I'll be alright.

[Verse 2 ]
I gave you my heart, I gave you my years,
All you have left me are memories and tears.
But now I'm stronger, I'm letting you go,
There's still a woman inside me you don't know.

[Pre-Chorus]
No more pretending, no asking you why,
No more believing another sweet lie.
You were my weakness, but now I can see,
Losing your love means finding me.

[Bridge – emotional build]
Let the last tear fall tonight,
Tomorrow I'll step into the light.
You took my heart and broke it apart,
But you couldn't take the fire in my heart.

[Final Chorus – huge]
I WON'T BE CRYING, I WON'T BEG YOU,
I WANT TO LIVE, I WANT LOVE THAT'S TRUE.
All that I need is a little more light,
MY BRAND-NEW LIFE IS STARTING TONIGHT.

I won't be crying, I won't beg you,
I won't let heartache tear me in two.
THIS RIVER OF TEARS HAS TO END TONIGHT,
I'M TAKING MY LIFE BACK — I'LL BE ALRIGHT.

[Outro – soft]
No more tears...
No more tears...
This river of tears
ends tonight...
