I Wipe My Tears - ArlenaZara
That title feels like the first true
deep breath after a long exhausting storm
I wipe my tears
is the pivot point
It is the conscious physical decision to stop mourning a man who doesn't deserve another drop of your energy
It captures the quiet empowering moment in front of a bathroom mirror when you look at your own red, swollen eyes
Take a deep breath and decide that the pity party is officially over
You are choosing your own survival
Here are the complete lyrics for I Wipe My Tears
I focus the words on the transition from the overwhelming flood of grief to the steady grounded resolve of self-reliance
The structure gives a female vocals the perfect pacing to start with a shaky vulnerable voice before building into a powerful triumphant belt of independence
in the chorus for a three minute pop anthem of resilience
I wipe my tears
The salt is drying on my cheek
The room is finally still
I've cried an absolute ocean for a man who lacked the will to be the person that he promised when he held my hand
I'm tired of pouring water on your barren desert land
I've spent the last few midnight hours curled up on the floor just sobbing for a ghost that doesn't live here anymore
But there's a sudden quiet breaking through the heavy grief
A tiny glowing ember of a desperate sweet relief
I wipe my tears
I brush away the pain
I refuse to be a flower drowning in your bitter rain
You took my open heart and you completely broke it down
But I refuse to let you be the reason that I drown
I am smudging out the makeup
I am lifting up my chin
I am ending all the losing so that I can finally win
You do not own my sorrow
You do not own my years
I am taking back the power
And I wipe my tears
I look into the mirror at the redness in my eyes
I've wasted so much energy reacting to your lies
My hands are finally steady reaching for the cotton pad
Erasing every trace of all the misery I had
I realized that crying isn't going to change the past
And the shadow of your memory was never built to last
I am washing my own face
I am pulling back my hair
And leaving all the devastation laying right exactly there
Every single drop that fell was just a lesson learned
A heavy liquid testament to bridges that you burned
But crying for a coward is a habit I must break
Because I have a beautiful entirely new life to make
You don't get another second of my precious time
I am leaving you behind inside the wreckage of your crime
Cause I wipe my tears
I brush away the pain
I refuse to be a flower drowning in your bitter rain
You took my open heart and you completely broke it down
But I refuse to let you be the reason that I drown
I am smudging out the makeup
I am lifting up my chin
I am ending all the losing so that I can finally win
You do not own my sorrow
You do not own my years
I am taking back the power
And I wipe my tears
My vision is clearing
The storm has finally passed
I am stepping out the dark
My eyes are completely dry
I wipe my tears
