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
