It won't be easy You think it's strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love After all that I've done You won't believe me All you will see Is a girl you once knew Although she's dressed up To the nines At sixes And sevens with you I had to let it happen I had to change Couldn't stay all my life down at heel Looking out Of the window Staying out of the sun So I chose freedom Running around Trying everything new But nothing Impressed me At all I never Expected it to Don't cry for me, Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance And as for fortune And as for fame I never invited them in Though it seemed To the world They were all I desire They are illusions They're not The solutions they promise to be The answer Was here All the time I love you And hope you love me Don't cry for me Argentina Don't cry for me, Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of To say to you But, all you have to do Is look at me to know That every word Is true!

Oh, got my hands tied around my back And time put a rope around my head And hung from the rafters of my fear Dark in the eyes Tryna face the world, I can't bear to My knees hit the ground and my hands start shaking Old feelings from new faces A rope on the floor and a poor man hanging Please help me chop this tree down Hold me from underneath Words never once cut me down Oh, don't you cry for me And nobody knows I've seen a notion run away I'm torn from the truth that holds my soul I'm down in the grave where I belong Oh, what a ride I dare to fight my devil Wings to the sky on the run from trouble With my own hands, no shovel I dug through the ground, now I'm hanging above saying Please help me chop this tree down Hold me from underneath Words never once cut me down Oh, don't you cry for me Down by the grave that the law man laid When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved Down by the grave that the law man laid When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved When the sun went down (down by the grave that the law man laid) When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved It set the sky on fire (down by the grave that the law man laid) When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved I saw an angel fly (down by the grave that the law man laid) When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved I never felt so high (down by the grave that the law man laid) When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved (oh!) Please help me chop this tree down Hold me from underneath Words never once cut me down Oh, don't you cry for me Oh, don't you cry for me Oh, don't you cry for me
