[Verse 1]
Turns out bein' 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

[Verse 2]
You don't what you don't know, ’til you've got no choice
The little girl you were who never had a voice
Suddenly she's talkin' and there's nothin' you can do to drown her out

[Chorus]
These tears should've been cried long ago
All these years of hangin' on is getting old, so I’m lettin’ go
I can't keep them from fallin’ down
I guess I'm cryin' 'em now

[Verse 3]
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 is the best
That I can do until the river's dried

[Chorus]
These tears should've been cried long ago
All these years of hangin' on is getting old, so I'm lettin' go
I can't keep them from fallin' down
I guess I'm cryin' 'em now
Oh, I'm cryin' 'em now
[Bridge]
Hmm
Hmm

[Chorus]
These tears should've been cried long ago
All these years, all the secrets no one knows, I'm lettin' go
'Til the sky clears and the sun comes out
I'm cryin' 'em now
I'm cryin' 'em now
I guess I'm cryin' 'em now
