Can't Cry Anymore Lyrics

Took your car
Drove to Texas
Sorry, honey
But I suspected we were through
And I can't cry anymore

Since I left
Been feelin' better, cause that's
What you get when you
Stay together too long
And I can't cry anymore

(Chorus)
Wouldn't it be good if we could hop a flight to anywhere
So long to this life
So much for pretending
Bad luck's never-ending

Now I know that
Money comes in
But the fact is
Not enough to
Pay my taxes
And I can't cry anymore

Gotta brother
He's got real problems
Heroin
There's just no stopping him tonight
And I can't cry anymore

(Chorus)

Could be worse
I could've missed my calling
Sometimes it hurts
But when you read the writing on the wall
Can't cry anymore

(Chorus)

So much for pretending
Bad luck's never-ending
Too much time I been spending
With my heart in my hands
Waiting for time to come and mend it
I can't cry anymore

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.

I guess this song may be about a relationship that was falsified to benefit the needs of two lonely people, but in the end , being free from a relationship or friendship that held a positive person on one end and a negative person on the other, was much better for the optimistic person. The cynical person wanted to stick around because he was selfish, but the women knew better , that the situation [whatever it was] was not worth her tears; and not even money could buy her happiness, it just deteriorated her "priceless" worth. The guy may have tried to give her surface love, but internally it was not real.
