LET THE TEARS FLOW

When your body's hurting
When memories are so vivid
They feel like the here and now

When all the tears you've fought 
Are tired of being held back
They'll cease to remember what's allowed

And they will flow...

~~~*Chorus*~~~
They'll relieve your hurting body
By the time that they are spent
The deepest sleep awaits you
You can heal if you relent
Tears are not a sign of weakness
But a cleansing way to grow
Something you will know
If you let them flow
~~*~~

Through pain, you cursed the whole world
Held it inside, damn the cost
Felt it was your right, yes you did

But things did not get better
And you finally realized
Bitter's not a way that you should live

It's no way to live

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
When you cage the right to grieve
Feel so angry you can't breathe
Refuse to sleep, so you won't dream
Become resentful, cold, and mean
There's a different way, you know
Do not fight them, let them go
Yeah... Oh Yeah...
Let the tears flow
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
They'll relieve your hurting body
By the time that they are spent
The deepest sleep awaits you
You can heal if you relent
Tears are not a sign of weakness
But a cleansing way to grow
Something you will know
If you let them flow
~~*~~

Let the tears flow...
