Discover the story of the song > Don’t Shed a Tear – Paul Carrack

The protagonist is talking about his partner who he used to love but now sees through. He compares her to things like a cab to nowhere and a locked door on a candy store, meaning she's unattainable. He tells her not to cry for him because his life will continue without her and the sun will still rise. He says he's not missing what they did not have and doesn't need anything from her.
