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
