I see a face in the mirror that I just don't like
But I gotta keep telling myself that it's alright
Cuz now I know that there's no sense in me cryin cuz momma said I'm not like you
Used to hurt when people said that I talk like him
With my pace and my shirt so I don't talk like him
I don't know what I found inside of me
But it's got me over you

Why cry
Not a single letter or a single call from you
Why cry
I'm a stronger man now and it's all because of you
Why cry
Cuz 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
Momma was there for me
Momma was my everything
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
I'm so over you

Why cry
Not a single letter or a single call from you
Why cry
I'm a stronger man now and it's all because of you
Why cry
Cuz 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 hard 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 won't cry, I won't cry (won't cry)
