The great ones never cry
You have to be stronger, how many times have you told me that
The number of tears I receive is never proportional to the number of tears I shed
You were there when I was down
I promise I won't do it anymore
I've done a bunch of bullshit, luckily you were there
Among my problems with drugs, raising three small children
Without asking for help and doing it alone
Mom, you taught me what respect is
I've met a thousand bastards but I've never lost that
You were the first to tell me to do it
The first to believe in me
And even before myself
Tell me what I have to do, you told me "you can do it"
A star that lives on its own light continues to shine
I don't forget the past
How could I deny my heart to the person who gave it to me

I would learn to grow
You will sleep with the fear of the dark
It will be you and me
Everything will be fine if you stay with me
No matter where in the world you will be
I will always be there you know
No one will deserve your tears
The great ones, no, they never cry

Do you really think that I don't recognize you
For all the roles you've played you deserve an Oscar
And I was wondering how many masks you had
You were my best enemy, my worst rival
You were my teacher, Santa Claus, the doorman who opens if you forget the key
The same one who taught me to make mistakes, played all the roles in the world
Before being a mother
Hours become days, days become years
And you're already grown up
You can't buy time, no one will have it back
I've been writing songs since I can't remember
I realized that preserving my memories is my priority
Now that I travel the world I analyze my dream
Remember that I too have a heart under the tattoos
I will tell my son that the great ones never cry
But at least not after this song

I would learn to grow
You will sleep with the fear of the dark
It will be you and me
Everything will be fine if you stay with me
No matter where in the world you will be
I will always be there you know
No one will deserve your tears
The great ones, no, they never cry
