I've got plans that I'll never share with you
And only when you're dying will I ever know
If you see me walking by, just know I haven't time
Don't you ever dare ask me why
You need not worry, no, you need not fret
But I'll never let your family forget
When you see me walking by, just look into my eyes
I'm about to send you away

Don't cry, you deserve this
Don't cry, you deserve this
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

My mother couldn't cry when you took her brother's life
She sat and sweated out the pain
You will know the reason why by the story of our lives
And you're the one we blame
You took, took, took till there was nothing left to take
Our dreams, our hopes, our names
If we see you on a spike with holes for your eyes
We'll just keep practicing our aim

Don't cry, you deserve this
Don't cry, you deserve this
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

I've got plans that I have to follow through
And only when you die will I ever know
If you see me in the sky and you break into a smile

Don't cry, you deserve this
Don't cry, you deserve this
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
