Rita Wilson - Tear by Tear Lyrics

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

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 an ocean
Then I'll dive in deep and find my way home
Tear by tear
Tear by tear

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

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 an 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 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
Tear by tear
Tear by tear
