"I Won't Be There" lyrics

I've been looking for the girl that I once knew
The girl with nothing to lose
Right before she met you
I've been telling her everything that I've learned since then
Never gonna make them
Same mistakes again

And baby
You know, and I know
You held on, I let go
Now is the time to move on

Let tomorrow be a new day
I'll be running from the heartache
And I won't be there, no no
I won't be there, no no
As the months turn into new years
Won't be crying any new tears
I won't be there, no no
I won't be there, no no

Hear me say oh, no, no, never ever
Oh no, baby I won't be there, no no
I won't be there

Looking back I remember when I
Used to sit and cry
Every day, all night
I'm telling you everything that you knew has changed
I'll be turning a new page
All the memories erased

'Cause baby
You know, and I know
You held on, I let go
Now is the time to move on

Let tomorrow be a new day
I'll be running from the heartache
And I won't be there, no no
I won't be there, no no
As the months turn into new years
Won't be crying any new tears
I won't be there, no no
I won't be there, no no

I won't be having bad dreams
Won't be having regrets
Tearing at the seams
They're the things I will forget
Baby when tomorrow comes
You're gonna be the only one
If you'd loved, if you'd have cared
Then babe, I would be there

Hear me say oh, no, no, never ever
Oh no, baby I won't be there, no no
I won't be there

Let tomorrow be a new day
I'll be running from the heartache
And I won't be there, no no (I won't be there)
I won't be there, no no (I won't be there)
As the months turn into new years
Won't be crying any new tears
I won't be there, no no
I won't be there, no no

Hear me say oh, no, no, never ever
Oh no, baby I won't be there, no no (I won't be there)
I won't be there (I won't be there)

Hear me say oh, no, no, never ever
Oh no, baby I won't be there, no no
I won't be there, no no

Let tomorrow be a new day
I'll be running from the heartache
And I won't be there, no no (I won't be there)
I won't be there, no no (I won't be there)
As the months turn into new years
Won't be crying any new tears
I won't be there, no no
I won't be there, no no

Let tomorrow be a new day (no, no, never ever)
I'll be running from the heartache (no, no)
And I won't be there, no no
I won't be there, no no
As the months turn into new years (no, no, never ever)
Won't be crying any new tears (no, no)
