The way you told me I couldn’t sing
And the way acted like I had nothing to bring
And the way I always knew when you lied
And how I felt the first time you said goodbye
The way you always tried to come back
asking for forgiveness, felt like an attack
And every time you left I felt relieved
Too many times I begged you to leave
So no more tears
No more trying to fix what’s broken
And no more years of apologies
Cuz once you come back
The pain only lasts
So no more tears
No more tears
Sometimes things would get better for a little while
And every so often you’d even get a smile
But then, the mistakes came like a broken record
And the sound of your car door was the worst I’d ever heard!
So no more tears
No more trying to fix what’s broken
and no more years of apologies
Cuz once you come back
The pain only lasts
So no more tears
No more tears
And to think, there were so many times
you could have done the right thing
And I believed that one of these days
It would start to kick in
but I learned
some things you’ve gotta let be
So tomorrow there’s no hoping for you
to come back to me
The way I felt when I became strong
My eyes were always dry, and I sang a happy song
It’s about someone who won their war
leaving the past behind and opening a new door
And no more tears
No more waiting for a happy ending
and no more years of worry yet to come
Cuz no one’s coming back
and everyone’s on track
That from now on
No more tears
