[Verse 1] Boots on the welcome mat Same old dust on the frame Your note on the counter says "Leaving was never a game" Sky turning silver-grey Coffee still warm in my hand Your shadow is fading fast Like waves pulled back from the sand [Pre-Chorus] I hear your key in the door that won’t turn Every echo in this house still burns If you’re running from the truth That’s fine But if you’re running from yourself this time [Chorus] Don’t cry I’ll hold your name in the back of my mind Till the day that the hurt runs dry Don’t cry We were a spark in a runaway sky Nothing ends when we say goodbye Don’t cry Don’t cry (oh-oh) Don’t cry Don’t cry [Verse 2] Truck lights across the field Fade where the gravel ends You said the horizon called Louder than your old friends I trace all the tire tracks Curving through yellowed rye Every mile you’re driving now Still passes under my eyes [Pre-Chorus] I hear your song in the wind through the wire Every fence post hums with desire If you’re chasing down a brighter sign Know I’m saving you a piece of time [Chorus] Don’t cry I’ll hold your name in the back of my mind Till the day that the hurt runs dry Don’t cry We were a spark in a runaway sky Nothing ends when we say goodbye Don’t cry Don’t cry (hey) Don’t cry Don’t cry [Verse 3] Moon on the water tower Glows like a busted pearl I dance in the kitchen light Spinning your flannel shirt Neighbors can see me laugh Talking to empty air You’re here in the crooked frames You’re here in this empty chair [Pre-Chorus] I hear your boots in the stairway creak Every silence feels like you speak If you’re learning how to bend Not break I can wait for every step you take [Chorus] Don’t cry I’ll hold your name in the back of my mind Till the day that the hurt runs dry Don’t cry We were a spark in a runaway sky Nothing ends when we say goodbye Don’t cry Don’t cry (oh-oh) Don’t cry Don’t cry [Verse 4] Years in a cardboard box Photos all curled at the sides I see you in faded ink Leaning on county lines If fate ever loops us back Same bar Same gravel road I’ll raise you a quiet smile Like we never let go [Pre-Chorus] I’ll hear your laugh in the jukebox glow Every starlit second going slow If the past and the present collide I’ll just whisper as our worlds align [Chorus] Don’t cry I’ll hold your name in the back of my mind Till the day that the hurt runs dry Don’t cry We were a spark in a runaway sky Nothing ends when we say goodbye Don’t cry Don’t cry (one more time) Don’t cry Don’t cry

dance, Shimmering EDM-country fusion with weathered lap steel swells, four-to-the-floor Europop disco pulse, and fantasy-stacked female digital harmonies. Verses stay airy and storytelling over pulsing bass; pre-choruses lift with filtered builds and arpeggiated synths; choruses explode into bright, hooky topline and wide stereo pads. Occasional vocoder doubles and chopped vocal glitches emphasize the “Don’t Cry” hook., disco, europop, country, experimental, edm
