I can't feel 
Feel a thing 
I can't shout 
I can't scream 
Breathe it out 
Breathe it in 
All this love 
From within 

I won't cry when you say goodbye 
I'm out of tears 
I won't die when you wave goodbye 
I'm out of tears 
Out of tears 

I won't drink 
I won't eat 
I can't hear 
I won't speak 
Let it out 
Let it in 
All this pain 
From within 
And I just can't pour my heart out 
To another living thing 
I'm a whisper 
I'm a shadow 
But I'm standing up to sing 

I won't cry when you say goodbye 
I'm out of tears 
I won't die when you wave goodbye 
I'm out of tears, yes I am 
I won't cry, I swear my eyes are dry 
I'm out of tears 
I won't cry, I'm going to tell you why 
I'm out of tears 
Out of tears 
Out of tears 

Let it out 
From within 
Some you lose 
Some you win 
I can drift 
I can dream 
Til I float 
Off your screen 
And I just can't pour my heart out 
To another living thing 
I'm a whisper 
I'm a shadow 
But I'm standing up to sing 

I won't cry when you say goodbye 
I'm out of tears 
I won't die when you wave goodbye 
I'm out of tears 
Out of tears 
I won't cry, I swear my eyes are dry 
I'm out of tears 
Out of tears 
I won't cry, I'm going to tell you why 
I'm out of tears 
Out of tears 
Out of tears
