Tear by Tear

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