These Tears

(album: Through The Madness, Vol. 2 - 2022)

Turns out being 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

You don't know what you don't know 'til you got no choice
The little girl you were who never had a voice
Suddenly she's talking and
There's nothing you can do to drown her out

These tears should have been cried long ago
All these years of hanging on is getting old
So, I'm letting go
I can't keep them from falling down
I guess I'm crying 'em now

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 the best
That I can do until the river's dry

These tears should have been cried long ago
All these years of hanging on is getting old
So, I'm letting go
I can't keep them from falling down
I guess I'm crying 'em now
Oh, I'm crying 'em now

These tears should have been cried long ago
All these years, all the secrets no one knows
I'm letting go
'Til the sky clears and the sun comes out
I'm crying 'em now
I'm crying 'em now
I guess I'm crying 'em now
