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
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

This song is about a breakup. I like the way Regina says "People's children die and they don't even cry forever", its like saying life does go on after a relationship ends, and there is always worse things happening to other people. Its like a girl saying that she is strong after a breakup even though she had her heart broken. Also has a very jazzy/blues feel to it. Love this song so much- Regina is a genius!
