No One Cries Anymore
Michael Ball · Other Songs - Michael Ball
Talking things through?
Working things out?
Pulling together?
Nowadays emotions fly by so fast
No one bothers mending a heart
They find another
A busy world
Where no one stops to catch their breath
That's not my kind of world
It scares me to death
Chorus:
No one cries anymore
No one tries anymore
They leave the dance far too soon
I won't go running out that door
I'm staying right here on the floor
With you...
So we're going through a bad patch, that's all
Everybody falls now and then
We can still make it
There is more to us than hello, goodbye
Let's not be fools
Our love can take it
A busy world
When no one stops to catch their breath
That's not my kind of world
It scares me to death
Chorus
They leave the dance far too soon
I won't go running out that door
I'm staying right here on the floor
No one cries anymore
No one cries anymore
