Lyrics
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
There's something that I want to say
But I feel l don't know how
And still, I just can't hold it one more day
So I think I'll let it out
(Willing to say)
You're on my mind more than I may show
(Willing to say)
You're in my heart more than you may know
And the last thing that I want
Is to you to fall apart
Your future will be clearer
I want you to remember
In each tear (Yeah)
There's a lesson (There's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (Wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (Stronger)
And each tear (Oh, each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
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, then here's my hand
(Willing to say)
Every night there's one thing I do
(Willing to say)
I bow my head and I pray for you (Pray for you; You)
And the last thing that I want (That I want)
Is for you to fall apart
Your future will be clearer
I want you to remember
In each tear (Tear)
There's a lesson (There's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (Wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (Stronger)
And each tear (Oh, each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak (Hey)
Can take away what you're meant to be
You're much more than a struggle that you go through (Hey, don't you know, don't you know)
You're not defined by your pain, so let it go (Let it go, let it go, let it go)
You're not a victim
You're more like a winner (You're more like a winner, baby)
And you're not in defeat (Hey)
You're more like a queen, oh
In each tear (You're more like a queen)
There's a lesson (Oh-oh)
Makes you wiser than before (Wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (Stronger than you know)
And each tear (Each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
'Cause no mistake (No mistake), no heartbreak (No heartbreak)
Can take away what you're meant to be
In each tear (Hey! Hey!)
There's a lesson (There's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (Wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (Stronger than you know)
And each tear (Makes you so much stronger; Hey)
Brings you closer to your dreams
Oh, 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 held down (I say, "Sing it, Mary", I say, "Sing it, Mary")
You, you, you can't be held down (Held down, held down)
We, we, we can't be held down
It makes you so much stronger
It makes you so much wiser
(In each tear) Each tear
And you're so close to your dreams
And, no mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be
