No Tears - Melanie Thornton

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

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

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

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
