Floodgates

Lyrics

[verse] No, I won't speak about it Just let me out at the curb And I can find my way home Don't wanna think about it No, I don't wanna be a burden I can do it alone I can do it alone [verse 2] It's times like these I wish It's times like these I wish I didn't have a heart to ignore I think its sweet of you to ask Maybe I'm just not as good at hiding As I have been before Oh I've done it all before [pre-Chorus] It takes most of me to keep it locked away And it takes most of me to make it through the day [Chorus] I can only go through the motions With no trace of emotion for so long I can only hold the appearance Of no sentimеnt interferencе 'til I can't take it anymore I've been bending 'til I'm broken So if the floodgates burst wide open Don't look me in the eye It's been oh so many years And I'm still learning how to let myself cry I've been swallowing my tears So I'm still learning how to let myself cry [verse 3] It hasn't happened yet I haven't died of a broken heart But, honey, I've gotten close No, I won't speak about it I'll get pulled right back to the edge And I might never come home Oh, I can do this alone [pre-Chorus] But it takes most of me to keep it locked away And it takes most of me to make it through the day [Chorus] I can only go through the motions With no trace of emotion for so long I can only hold the appearance Of no sentiment interference 'til I can't take it anymore I've been bending 'til I'm broken So if the floodgates burst wide open Don't look me in the eye It's been oh so many years And I'm still learning how to let myself cry I've been swallowing my tears So I'm still learning how to let myself cry {chorus overlapping] [verse 4] She passed her habits to me I count the times I've seen her weep In front of me on my hand She never talked about it We never talked about it [Chorus] I can only go through the motions With no trace of emotion for so long I can only hold the appearance Of no sentiment interference I can't take it anymore I've been bending 'til I'm broken So if the floodgates burst wide open Don't look me in the eye It's been oh so many years And I'm still learning how to let myself cry I've been swallowing my tears So I'm still learning how to let myself cry
