No More Tears
Teedra Moses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanting it to be good knowing its not
Crying all time, praying that a change is gonna come
{Just like the other day... he hit me}
Hit on my hip like "just touch down, (down) want to see you, (you)
I know you're mad at me but baby I'm so sorry... Sorry"
Happy, sipping, puffing, passing
Relaxing with my family
No more tears for you...
Dancing, laughing, writing, singing
Rocking to hot tracks like this
No tears for you...
Guess its 'bout time I'm due another love
Messing with this nigga got me falling apart
I don't want to be someone I know I'm not
Call me on the phone "baby get dressed; (get dressed) I'm scooping you up"
I waited for an hour he never showed
{Shit... I went to get cocktails with my girls. Its a new year}
I just want to be...
Happy, sipping, puffing, passing
Relaxing with my family
No more tears for you...
Dancing, laughing, writing, singing
Rocking to hot tracks like this
No tears for you
No tears for you
No tears for you for you
Happy, sipping, puffing, passing
Relaxing with my family
No more tears for you
Dancing, laughing, writing, singing
Rocking to hot tracks like this
No tears for you
The song "No More Tears" by Teedra Moses talks about a woman who is at a crossroads in her life, caught between her heart and mind. She wants her relationship to be good but knows that it's not. She cries all the time, hoping that a change would come. However, her partner hits her, which highlights the toxic nature of their relationship. He tries to make up for it by apologizing and wanting to see her, but it's clear that their relationship is beyond repair.
The chorus of the song suggests that the woman wants to move on from the pain and focus on her own happiness. She wants to be surrounded by her family while relaxing and engaging in recreational activities like sipping, puffing, writing, singing, and dancing. She no longer wants to cry for her partner or be in a toxic relationship. The song portrays the strength and resilience of a woman who has been hurt but has made the conscious decision to let go and move on.
