Don't Cry Now

You can't abuse a love affair Take for granted what you think is there Let the silence fill the lonely air around us The truth falls like pieces of dreams Invisible walls that I can't see How can it happen Why can't we just be What is it makes us act so crazy Riskin' it all Over passion and pain Stripped to the soul We hold on for safety And we give it all we know how So don't cry now The risk is all in the take We see it all when it's too late And we dance so fast To keep the flame inside What is it makes us act so crazy Riskin' it all Over passion and pain Stripped to the soul We hold on for safety And we give it all we know how So don't cry now Do you remember When nothing else mattered But the fire in your eyes How do we find ourselves Caught in this battle Of what to do with our lives What is it makes us act so crazy Riskin' it all Over passion and pain Stripped to the soul We hold on for safety And we give it all we know how So don't cry now --- Don't Cry Now - Kim Carnes
