I see you're frustrated when I cry
I'm finding out how sacred as time goes by
Process, purify
I am lighter, much lighter

Look at my eyes and cry with me
Like you used to do, I asked Miss P
Let it all out, it's meant to be
Tears are our medicine

I see you're frustrated yet you don't cry
You're finding out how sacred as time goes by
Process, purify
You'll feel lighter, much lighter

Look at my eyes and cry with me
Like you used to do, I asked Miss P
Let it all out, it's meant to be
Tears are our medicine

While it flows, and while it pours
I swear I hold on to you
We will struggle, trying to grow
And that's what we are supposed to do

So look at my eyes and cry with me
Like we used to do, I asked Miss P
Let it all out, it's meant to be
Tears are our medicine
Tears are our medicine
Tears are our medicine
