Every Tear Disappears Lyrics

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!

My Interpretation
