I see a face in the mirror that I just don't like
But I gotta keep telling myself that it's alright
Cos now I know that there's no sense in me cryin cos momma said I'm not like you
Used to hurt when people said that I talk like him
dipped my pace and my step so I don't walk like him
I don't know what I found inside of me
Not a single letter or a single call from you
I'm a stronger man now and it's all because of you
Cos I can't wait on you no more
I made it here without you
So tell me why should I cry
Momma was the one who taught me how to ride my bike
And she was the one who taught me how to stand and fight
When my first day of school would start, where were you
And when I first had a broken heart, where were you
Those were the times I most needed you
But that's what got me through
Not a single letter or a single call from you
I'm a stronger man now and it's all because of you
Cos I can't wait on you no more
I made it here without you
So tell me why should I cry
I know it's harsh and we're bound to make mistakes
But if there's anything I've learned from you
It's not to run away (run away)
Through all the clouds and tribulations in my life
I won't cry, I will learn, I won't cry (won't cry)
Not a single letter or a single call from you
I'm a stronger man now and it's all because of you
Cos I can't wait on you no more
I made it here without you
So tell me why should I cry
Not a single letter or a single call from you
I'm a stronger man now and it's all because of you
Cos I can't wait on you no more
I made it here without you
So tell me why should I cry
So tell me why should I cry
