Verse

I sat myself down Tuesday, wrote myself a song

Just things I want to say, about what is wrong

But all of my complainin’, well it comes to no avail

The things I really need to say I’ve yet to learn myself

Chorus

...I won’t cry, no. And I won’t wail, no

...I tell myself that you can never fail

Until it’s over

And when it’s over, it’s over

Verse

So I wrote myself a letter, and I sent it off to you

To make myself feel better, I tried to tell the truth

I wrote a song for Jesus Christ, and one for Noah’s Ark

I sang a song for mornin’ light and I still sat in the dark

Chorus

I won’t cry, no. And I won’t wail, no

I tell myself that you can never fail

Until it’s over

And when it’s over, it’s over

Verse

So I accept I can do nothing, do nothing at all

I see myself, a big, long road and I build myself a wall

I dig myself a tunnel, so I could get on under

And join the rest of the human race, just ask ‘why?’ and wonder

Chorus

I won’t cry, no. And I won’t wail, no

I tell myself that you can never fail

Until it’s over

And when it’s over, it’s over
