Tears Could Talk

(album: A Beautiful Disaster - 2020)

Lately I've been reflecting
Stuck at this intersection
Can't figure which way to go to get myself out this depression
Wondering if it's worth it
Wondering while I'm searching
Wondering if I'll find out that nothing is ever perfect
I wonder if God can hear me
Never felt more deserted
Feel like I'll never flourish
I've never felt more discouraged
Got to be more to life than just living and dying
A cloud of smoke behind me now because the bridge is on fire
I used to think it was cool to hustle but now I know
That I can't buy my way to Heaven with the drugs I sold
Lord won't you guide the way for me 'cause I've got both eyes closed
And if Moses can part the sea then help me just let go

Whoa whoa whoa
If these tears could talk
I wonder what they'd say
Whoa whoa whoa
All the times we lost
We lose ourselves along the way

If these tears could talk
If these tears could talk
If my tears could talk
I wonder what they'd say

Momma's got an addiction been running for way too long
She been playing the same old game and she hasn't been the same since I was little
She used to be my shoulder to cry on
When the hurricane came and nobody was there to save me
I used to be Momma's little baby
But now I'm looking at her like she's the villain
She was disguised as the Joker now I'm feeling like I'm Batman
When I'm looking in the mirror and my vision's clearer
Hiding my truth done living under a rock
Bars on my heart I need a key for the lock
If tears could really talk, here's the story they would tell
Now listen closely as my tears begin to yell

Whoa whoa whoa
If these tears could talk
I wonder what they'd say
Whoa whoa whoa
All the times we lost
We lose ourselves along the way

If these tears could talk
If these tears could talk
If my tears could talk
I wonder what they'd say

Whoa whoa whoa
If these tears could talk
I wonder what they'd say
Whoa whoa whoa
All the times we lost
We lose ourselves along the way

If these tears could talk
If these tears could talk
If my tears could talk
I wonder what they'd say
