Every Tear Disappears Lyrics

Ooh a smile is more than showing teeth
Ooh it's not the potion, it's the magic that I seek

Every tear disappears
Every tear disappears

Every moment I struggle I'm deeper in the pit
If I can show a hand, then I can show a fist
Call the 21st century, tell her give herself a break

Every tear disappears
Every tear disappears

Oh and what about the pain?
Don't ask me how, I just know that it fades

And hey, hey, hey
Every tear disappears
Every eye can see you now

Yeah, I live unwise
Yeah, I've been born twice

Yeah, I live unwise
Yeah, I've been born twice

Yeah, I live unwise
Yeah, I've been born twice

Yeah, I live unwise
Yeah, I've been born twice

Yeah, I live unwise
Yeah, I've been born twice

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Every Tear Disappears lyrics by St. Vincent

There is power and wisdom in putting on a SMILE after a painful setback.
Rather than medicating away the pain... It's not fake even if you have to force it at first; It's part of the real cure.

"Time heals all wounds" (Not immediately; no, but gradually, over time)

Complain about the injustice, and it just gets worse.
If I can cry for pity, I can just as easily fight it in my own strength.

Does it still hurt? of course it does. but it fades, I'm okay; I don't need to know how, but it does.

I wasn't sure if I could make it, but Now that I have, I'm a whole new stronger, better, & wiser ME!
