Don't Cry for Me Lyrics

The birds don't sing the same any more
They always sounded happy before
But now there's something missing
'Cause they don't see me kissing you no more

My sky has fallen down through the floor
I go to sleep with no-one to hold
In bed when you were near me
I didn't really feel the cold at all

[Chorus]
I'm picking up the pieces now
Know I'm gonna get through somehow so
Don't cry for me
I've gotta make it on my own
Learn to be alone
Ooh baby
Don't cry for me

I feel like there's a hole in my heart
I've gotta fill it up and make a new start
I can't sit here forever
Although it seems I'll never ever get that far

I'm gonna get outside and make some new friends
And put me back together again
It's no use feeling lonely
When I know I'm not the only one who feels like this

[Chorus]

It's hard baby it's hard
But I'm trying
Trying my best to make it through
I know deep in my heart when I'm crying
I'm trying to forgive you

The birds don't sing the same any more
They always sounded happy before
But now there's something missing
'Cause they don't see me kissing you no more

[Chorus]

Love Without a Name

The birds don't sing the same any more
They always sounded happy before
But now there's something missing
'Cause they don't see me kissing you no more

My sky has fallen down through the floor
I go to sleep with no-one to hold
In bed when you were near me
I didn't really feel the cold at all

[Chorus]
I'm picking up the pieces now
Know I'm gonna get through somehow so
Don't cry for me
I've gotta make it on my own
Learn to be alone
Ooh baby
Don't cry for me

I feel like there's a hole in my heart
I've gotta fill it up and make a new start
I can't sit here forever
Although it seems I'll never ever get that far

I'm gonna get outside and make some new friends
And put me back together again
It's no use feeling lonely
When I know I'm not the only one who feels like this

[Chorus]

It's hard baby it's hard
But I'm trying
Trying my best to make it through
I know deep in my heart when I'm crying
I'm trying to forgive you

The birds don't sing the same any more
They always sounded happy before
But now there's something missing
'Cause they don't see me kissing you no more

[Chorus]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
