Melanie Thornton
"No Tears"

Verse 1
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

Chorus
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

Verse 2
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

Chorus

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

Chorus
