you hoped that if you'd forget your memories
that they'd forget you too
you'd put a bandage on your aching spot
and that will make you feel good
i think someone should have told you that
this ain't the way it works
and that you have to work it out some day
you will, yeah
it takes you further everytime
it will make you sweat like hell
you just can't keep gnashing your teeth forever
won't cry, why wouldn't you
no, won't let them get to you
won't cry
and if anyone will try to tell you that
this ain't, no no
this ain't, no
it ain't the way it works
they're wrong, they're wrong, so wrong
well you've done enough to prove us all
won't let them get you down
but now i think the moment's here
to show yourself your weaknesses
i see you figured out by now
this ain't the way that things go
and the time has come to work it out
you will, yeah
it takes you further everytime
it will make you sweat like hell
you just can't keep gnashing your teeth forever
won't cry, why wouldn't you
no, won't let them get to you
won't cry
and if anyone will try to tell you that
this ain't, no no
this ain't, no
it ain't the way it works
they're wrong, they're wrong, so wrong (no, no, no, no)
you won't cry, won't cry, i know
you won't cry, won't cry, won't let them get to you
won't cry, won't cry, ooh no
you won't cry, yeah
you won't cry, why wouldn't you
no, won't let them get to you
won't cry
and if anyone will try to tell you that
this ain't, no no
this ain't, no
this ain't the way it works
they're wrong, they're wrong, so wrong (no, no, no, no)
