[Intro]
I ain’t gonna cry
I ain’t gonna cry
Mhmm

[Verse 1]
What is my mission?
Why am I swimmin’
In the dirty water
Of a bad decision?
Forty days and nights
I’ve been losin' my mind
'Cause I don’t know what’s wrong
Or how to make it right

[Chorus 1]
I ain’t gonna cry
I ain’t gonna cry
I don’t know how to pray
I say "hallelujah" anyway
I ain’t gonna cry
Mhmm

[Verse 2]
Not a child
But yet I am not free
Stuck in the miles of
Somewhere in between
Comin' of age in this day and age
It’s a long, hard fight
You gotta sacrifice
You gotta bleed
[Chorus 2]
I ain’t gonna cry
I ain’t gonna cry
When the choir’s gone away
I sing "hallelujah" anyway
I ain’t gonna cry
Hmm-mm

[Verse 3]
All of these feelings
I’ve been suppressin'
Gotta get 'em off my chest
I’m a little unhinged, I guess
Is it factual?
Or is it all in my head?
Numb, unemployed, can’t avoid the void
Feelin' paranoid

[Chorus 3]
I ain’t gonna cry
I ain’t gonna cry, oh-oh
When my soul is gone astray
I sing "hallelujah" anyway

[Bridge]
My eyes
Stayin' dry, oh-oh-oh
My eyes
Stayin' dry, oh-oh-oh
Gonna find it
See the light, oh-oh-oh
Got a wall, I'm buildin'
Got a chance, go willin'
To hang onto my pride
[Chorus]
I ain’t gonna cry
I ain’t gonna cry, oh
I don’t know how to pray
I sing "hallelujah" anyway (Ooh)
I ain’t gonna cry (Ooh)
I ain’t gonna cry (Ooh)
I don’t know how to pray (Ooh)
I sing "hallelujah" anyway (Ooh)

[Outro]
(Oh-oh, ooh-ooh)
(Oh-oh, ooh-ooh)
(Oh-oh, ooh-ooh)
(Oh-oh, ooh-ooh)
