Lyrics

Why do we think we gotta stay so strong?
What will we gain from doing it on our own?
Gotta dry your emotions
Don't let 'em see you're broken
But we're made of water, after all
If crying is surrender
Help me to cry better
I put both hands up instead of holding it together
Open these floodgates
Behind my sunshades
What's there to fear if You're near when I'm tear-stained?
I let my tears fall to the ground
But You caught 'em
You never missed one
In Your bottle
You use everything (thing)
Teardrops as water for the seed
To grow the faith inside of me
If crying is surrender
Help me to cry better
I put both hands up instead of holding it together
Open these floodgates
Behind my sunshades
What's there to fear if You're near when I'm tear-stained?
Was a time in my life where I didn't wanna cry anymore
'Cause my heart was sore
Was an empty house with a sign on the door saying
"Keep Out! Keep Out! Keep Out! Keep Out!"
And I thought my tears I had to hide
Rather smile and say, "I'm fine" (I'm fine)
Cause what good is someone crying?
(then I, then I, then I)
I met the man of sorrows
He showed me tears in bottles
Said, "Baby it's okay to break
I didn't make you hollow
Let me make your heart my home
Your emotion's never wrong
Those tears belong
Let the weak say, "I am strong!"
If crying is surrender (cry)
Help me to cry better (better)
I put both hands up instead of holding it together
Open these floodgates
Behind my sunshades
What's there to fear if You're near when I'm tear-stained?
If crying is surrender (oh)
Help me to cry better (cry better)
I put both hands up instead of holding it together
Open these floodgates
Behind my sunshades (sunshades)
What's there to fear if You're near when I'm tear-stained?
