with the world that I once cherished
did it bring me to this darkened place
to contemplate my perfect future?
I will not stand nor utter words against this tide of hate
losing sight of what and who I was again

I'm so sorry if these seething words I say
impress on you that I've become anathema of my soul

I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
but I know where this is leading
please
no tears
no sympathy

I can't say that you're losing me
but I must be that which I am
though I know where this could take me
no tears
no sympathy

gracefully, respectfully
facing conflict deep inside myself
but here confined losing control
of what I could not change

gracefully, respectfully
I ask you please don't worry, not for me
don't turn your back
don't turn away

I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
but I know where this is leading
please
no tears
no sympathy

I can't say that you're losing me
but I must be that which I am
though I know where this could take me
no tears
no sympathy

no tears for me, no sympathy
no tears for me, no sympathy
