[Verse 1] Tears pool where the heart is softest Quiet waters no one sees And when the heart grows fragile They start reaching for the surface It only takes the slightest touch A tremor through the walls within Then all the tears we kept below Spill over through the cracks [Pre-Chorus] But when the heart turns cold and hard It hides what matters deep inside Afraid that if it lets it go There’ll be nothing left behind [Chorus] So let the water rise Let it find its way So let the water rise Some things will not stay Some things only leave Some things only leave as tears [Verse 2] So we build our walls around it Keep the tender things from light While underneath, the quiet water Waits for somewhere it can rise And every drop we leave unspoken Settles deeper with the years Filling rooms we keep forgotten With the weight of hidden tears [Pre-Chorus] But no wall can hold forever No heart stays stone for all its life Even through the smallest fracture Something buried finds the light [Chorus] So let the water rise Let it find its way So let the water rise Some things will not stay Some things only leave Some things only leave as tears [Bridge] Let it carry what it must Let it wash the hurt through What we held so tightly Was never meant to harden into you [Final Chorus] So let the water rise Let it find its way So let the water rise Some things will not stay Some things leave us when they’re ready Some things only leave as tears
