I will try to cry no more tears for you,
do my best not to feel any pain...
I have given all I could, ‘naught more I can say;
the glimmer on my cheeks is just rain.

I’ll try never again to unpack thoughts of you,
from the store of memories in my heart’s room -
This heart will not think, will not feel, will not play
another song about you, no more melancholy tunes.

I will try my best to not dream anymore,
nor to search for the rainbow that lives in your heart.
I will walk on in the light, let the sun shine once more -
I’ve spent far too long in this dark.
