[Chorus]
We drain the water with the babes
To drown the grief we drown the gain
We drain the water with the babes
To flee the scene of our mistakes

[Verse 1]
Sing the sorrow, we lament
Cast wishes like copper pence into
Ancient fountains of regret
Wishing that we could take it back

[Pre-Chorus]
But just wait for me
I come not to erase but be
Wait for me
The purpose from the pain

[Chorus]
We drain the water with the babes
To drown the grief we drown the gain
We drain the water with the babes
To flee the scene of our mistakes

[Verse 2]
What if you could take it back?
What if we had never met and we
Annihilate our brokenness?
Would we lose our greatest gift?
[Pre-Chorus]
But just wait for me
I come not to erase but be
Wait for me
The purpose from the pain

[Chorus]
We drain the water with the babes
To drown the grief we drown the gain
We drain the water with the babes
To flee the scene of our mistakes

[Chorus 2]
We won't drain the water with the babes
In this grief we find the greatest gain
We won't drain the water with the babes
You were made the purpose from the pain
