Sister Hazel - Tear By Tear lyrics

We all know sadness and I feel your pain
Well, everybody knows a
Little loneliness sometimes
'Cause we're all the same we all have sorrow
We all have shame
Everybody feels a bitter emptiness sometimes
Now what ya gonna do about that?

There's a way to keep going, step by step
Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick
While your life will keep coming
Year after year
You drain the pain, tear by tear
You drain away the pain, tear by tear
Take a look around you
Every face that you see
Well everybody gets a
Little paralyzed sometimes
The epidemic of our insanity

There's a way to keep going, step by step


Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick
While your life will keep coming
Year after year drain the pain, tear by tear
Drain away the pain, tear by tear

And the mother
She wait's cause her teenager's late
'Til the knock on the door, he says "Ma'am
I am so sorry"
And soldiers come home one leg
Less than they've gone with
We all walk around like there's
Just nothing wrong with it
The doctor he cries 'cause
His last patient died
Did I mention before he was a father of five?
And the waitress is home, well
She can't pay her loan
She's lost everything, everything
Has nowhere to go and the fat kid at
School couldn't take anymore
Of the taunts and the names
And the ugliest words
No one even stopped to notice they
Went on with their day
'Til he pulled out a gun
And blew himself away

There's a way to keep going, step by step
Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick
You can drain off the pain tear by tear
Tear by tear
