[Intro: Mary J. Blige, with Tiziano Ferro]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1: Mary J. Blige]
There's something that I want to say
But I feel l don't know how
And still, I just can't hold it one more day
So I think I'll let it out

[Pre-Chorus: Mary J. Blige, Tiziano Ferro]
(Willing to say)
You're on my mind more than I may show
(Willing to say)
You're in my heart more than you may know
And the last thing that I want
Is for you to fall apart
Your future will be clearer
I want you to remember

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige, Tiziano Ferro, Both]
In each tear (Yeah)
There's a lesson (There's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (Wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (Stronger)
And each tear (Oh, each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake (No mistakes), no heartbreak (No heartbreak)
Can take away what you're meant to be
[Verse 2: Mary J. Blige, Tiziano Ferro]
We can't change the things
That we've done that's in the past
But fighting won't get us anywhere
So if you want, then here's my hand

[Pre-Chorus: Mary J. Blige, Both]
(Willing to say)
Every night there's one thing I do
(Willing to say)
I bow my head and I pray for you (Pray for you)
And the last thing that I want
Is for you to fall apart
Your future will be clearer
I want you to remember

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige, Tiziano Ferro, Both]
In each tear
There's a lesson (There's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (Wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (Stronger)
And each tear (Oh, each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake (No mistakes), no heartbreak (No heartbreak)
Can take away what you're meant to be
[Bridge: Mary J. Blige, Tiziano Ferro, Both]
You're much more than a struggle that you go through (Hey, yeah)
You're not defined by your pain, so let it go (So let it go)
You're not a victim (You're not a victim)
You're more like a winner (You're more like a winner)
And you're not in defeat (No, no)
You're more like a queen, oh

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige, Tiziano Ferro, Both]
In each tear
There's a lesson
Makes you wiser than before
Makes you stronger than you know (Stronger than you know)
And each tear (Each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
'Cause no mistake (No mistake), no heartbreak (No heartbreak)
Can take away what you're meant to be

[Verse 4: Tiziano Ferro, Mary J. Blige]
Dentro il male del dolore che ti ho detto
Più della mancanza forte che ti ho detto
Più di tutti quanti i drammi che ti ho detto
Io ti amo e che ti amo ora lo detto
(In each tear)
Queste lacrime figlie di un arma atroce (Arma atroce)
Queste lacrime si mostrano alla luce
Queste ore ormai umide di lacrime
Cancellano il timore e me che intemplano la lapide, già, già già, già
(Can take away what you're meant to be)
[Outro: Mary J. Blige, Tiziano Ferro, Both]
No, no, we can't be held down (No-no, no-no)
I, I, I can't held down
You, you, you can't be held down
We, we, we can't be held down, love
It makes you so much stronger (So much stronger)
It makes you so much wiser
(In each tear) Each tear
And you're so close to your dreams (Ah, yeah)
And, no mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away you're meant to be
