Can I hear ya cry
All because of something that I said
I never tried to compromise
This tunnel-vision swimmin' in my head

I'm not the man you want
You won't find no harmony
I'm not the man you want
Why don't you break out

So don't waste your tears
Don't waste your tears
So don't waste your tears
Don't waste your tears

Use my circumstance
Bury me and cover up those scars
Don't you tear your tears
You got to listen to your heart

I'm not the man you want
You won't find no harmony
I'm not the man you want
Why don't you break out

Don't waste your tears
Don't waste your tears
Don't waste your tears
So don't waste your tears

No, I don't ever wanna see your face again
I don't ever wanna see your face again
No, I don't ever wanna hear that, chum-chum-whistle blowin'
Don't you waste your tears on me

I'm a liar, yes I am
Lost my fire long ago
Call me worthless any-day, darlin'
Don't ever say I never told you so

Don't waste your tears
Don't waste your tears
So don't waste your tears
Don't waste your tears

I really do know
That I gotta let ya go
Yes, I don't need you anymore
You'll do better on your own
Yes, I really do know
That I gotta let ya go
I don't need you anymore

So don't waste your tears
