[Verse 1]
Please, don't tell the others
They wouldn't take this well
Couldn't face my mother
Mmhmm, when I faced myself

[Chorus]
Oh, don't cry for me
I never mattered
Don't cry for me
Don't cry for me
I never mattered
I never mattered
Don't cry for me

[Verse 2]
I look back, it seemed so real
But the paint has cracked, the mask has peeled
Was I here at all? Will I be gone?
What have you just revealed?
Take my word for it, and I'll take yours
What will I learn when the curtain falls?

[Chorus]
Don't cry for me
I never mattered
Don't cry for me
Don't cry for me
I never mattered
I never mattered
Don't cry for me
[Bridge]
I just tried to play my part
I've no end, and I've no start
What's waiting for me
Tell me you can save me from the dark

[Outro]
Don't cry for me
Don't cry for me
Don't cry for me
Don't cry for me
