Lyrics by Melanie Thornton
|
|
Verse 1
|
So long I've waited, patiently
|
Did what I was told was best for me
|
Blindly I'd follow, trustingly
|
And never question why
|
Unaware of the power inside of me
|
It was a gift of love that was meant to be
|
Something shared with the world, faithfully
|
It was my only dream
|
|
Chorus
|
No tears to cry, no sad good-byes
|
I'm spreading my wings and I'm ready to fly
|
No tears to shed, only happiness ahead
|
This millennium will be my time to be free
|
|
Verse 2
|
Through it all I have grown, no regrets
|
I can say I've learned my lesson well
|
The struggle and pain I won't forget
|
It's made a mark on me
|
But with all of the strength I possess
|
I've gotta go for the chance of a life so sweet
|
No doubt in my mind, I am blessed
|
I'm gonna live my dream
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Breakdown
|
No, no, no tears...
|
Oooh I wanted it so bad I could cry
|
No, no, no tears
|
But when I got it, it wasn't right
|
No, no, no tears
|
It was somebody else's vision of me
|
No, no, no tears
|
And now I'm gonna live mine
|
|
Chorus
|

No Tears
