Mary J. Blige - Each Tear Lyrics

There's something that I want to say
But I feel I don't know how
And still I just can't hold it one more day
So I think I'll let it out

No mistake, you're on my mind more than I may show
No mistake, you're in my heart more than you may know
And the last thing that I want is for you to fall apart
Your future will get clearer, I want you to remember

In each tear there's a lesson
Makes you wiser than before
Makes you stronger than you know

And each tear brings you closer to your dream
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be

We can't change the things that we've done
That's in the past
But fighting won't get us anywhere
So if you want here's my hand

No mistake, every night there's one thing I do
No mistake, I bow my head and I pray for you
And the last thing that I want is for you to fall apart
Your future will get clearer, I want you to remember

In each tear there's a lesson
Makes you wiser than before
Makes you stronger than you know

And each tear brings you closer to your dream
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be

You're much more than a struggle that you go through
You're not defined by your pain so let it go
You're not a victim, you're more like a winner
And you're not in defeat, you're more like a queen

In each tear there's a lesson
Makes you wiser than before
Makes you stronger than you know

And each tear brings you closer to your dream
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be

In each tear there's a lesson
Makes you wiser than before
Makes you stronger than you know

And each tear brings you closer to your dream
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be

No, no, we can't be held down
No, no, no, no, I, I, I, can't be held down
You, you, you can't be held down
We, we, we can't be held down

Love, it makes you so much stronger
It makes you so much wiser

And each tear, and you're so close to your dreams and
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be
