Lyric

On the train platform

That last night I watched you go

Only the words I couldn’t say

Remain in my heart

I trace with my fingertips

The name of an old wound

I’ve gotten good at

Pretending it doesn’t hurt anymore

If crying could bring you back

I would have cried over and over

But the me of today

Won’t stop moving forward anymore

I have no more tears

For you

I have no more tears

It ends here

The days I loved

Won’t fade away

But I’ve

Reclaimed myself

On the way home in the rain

The sound of rain hitting my umbrella—

The promise from that day

Fades into the distance, hazy

Behind your kindness

I saw a cold shadow

But I won’t blame myself

For believing in you anyway

What I wanted to protect

Was surely not a dream

But the part of me

That could still love, even when hurt

One Less Tear to Cry

For you

One Less Tear to Cry

This is where it ends

The days I loved

Won’t fade away

But I’ve

Reclaimed myself

Saying goodbye

Isn’t hatred—

It’s just quietly

Letting go

The me

I left behind

In that season—

I can finally go and welcome her back

Now, at last

One Less Tear to Cry

For you

One Less Tear to Cry

This is where it ends

Beyond the night

Deeper than sorrow

I will

Love myself again
