These Tears

[Verse 1]

Turns out bein' human ain’t for the faint of heart

You decorate your walls as you put up your guard

You build your life on top of it

Then one day the bottom bottoms out

[Verse 2]

You don't what you don't know, ’til you've got no choice

The little girl you were who never had a voice

Suddenly she's talkin' and there's nothin' you can do to drown her out

[Chorus]

These tears should've been cried long ago

All these years of hangin' on is getting old, so I’m lettin’ go

I can't keep them from fallin’ down

I guess I'm cryin' 'em now

[Verse 3]

Every now and then I let myself go numb

But once the dam is broken, the river’s gonna run

So, excuse the mess, this is the best

That I can do until the river's dried

[Chorus]

These tears should've been cried long ago

All these years of hangin' on is getting old, so I'm lettin' go

I can't keep them from fallin' down

I guess I'm cryin' 'em now

Oh, I'm cryin' 'em now

[Bridge]

Hmm

Hmm

[Chorus]

These tears should've been cried long ago

All these years, all the secrets no one knows, I'm lettin' go

'Til the sky clears and the sun comes out

I'm cryin' 'em now

I'm cryin' 'em now

I guess I'm cryin' 'em now
