Janiva Magness - I Won't Cry (Live at The Mahindra Blues Festival 2017) Lyrics

The harder the words, the colder the night
The closer the hand, the sharper the knife
The tighter I hold on
The further you seem to fly

I get cut and I might bleed
But I won't cry

The bigger the love
The blacker the bruise
The less that you give
The more I could use
The longer you hold out
The farther I have to fly

I get cut and I might bleed
(And I might bleed)
But I won't cry
(But I won't cry)

The quicker the lie
(I might bleed)
The softer the moan
(I might bleed)
All of those whispers
(I might bleed)
They just sink like a stone
(I might bleed)
I think momma should just push on
(I might bleed)
Before those fists just fly

I get cut and I might bleed
(And I might bleed)
But I won't cry
(But I won't cry)

The stronger the bond
(whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa)
The tougher the loss
(whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa)
The pain in my heart
(whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa)
Until it just stops
(whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa)
Once more I'll just hold on
(whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa)
Until I get strength to fly
(whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa)

I get cut and I might bleed
(And I might bleed)
But I won't cry
(But I won't cry)

I get cut, I might bleed
(I might bleed)
But I won't cry
(But I won't cry)

I get cut and I might bleed
But I won't cry
