Tear by Tear

[Verse 1] Sometimes I cry in church And I can't even tell you why It's a mystery Ooh.... Or the sound of a guitar That breaks me with its melancholy melody Ooh..... [Pre-Chorus] So I keep it all inside Out of fear and useless pride And I'm tired of hiding here Behind this barricade [Chorus ] Tear by tear, I'm letting go Tear by tear, I'm learning how to show The real me who only cries alone And if I have to cry an ocean Then I'll dive in deep and find my way home [Post Chorus] Tear by tear Tear by tear [Verse 2] All the colors of my past Are lost somewhere Inside a faded photograph Ooh........ I think about the people And the places and the moments That I can't get back Get back [Pre -Chorus] No more keeping it inside Out of fear and useless pride 'Cause I'm tired of hiding here Behind this barricade [Chorus] Tear by tear, I'm letting go Tear by tear, I'm learning how to show The real me who only cries alone And if I have to cry an ocean Then I'll dive in deep and find my way home [Post-Chorus] Tear by tear [Bridge] I'm setting myself free I'm finally coming clean [Chorus] Tear by tear, I'm letting go Tear by tear, I'm learning how to show The real me who only cries alone And if I have to cry an ocean Then I'll dive in deep and find my way home [Outro] Tear by tear Tear by tear
