Open the floodgates You seem afraid to do so You seem to believe I'll be swept under And taken from you forever You said: "You already have enough to deal with" But, I doubt you've considered, That being locked out by you, Is the leading cause of my pain
Open the floodgates When I was left alone I uncovered my strength I learnt to get by on my own If your words cut deep If I must do so again I'll heal myself I'm not afraid to be pulled under Not anymore
Open the floodgates Though, your suffering may cause salt stains on my cheeks Though, how you see yourself may crack my heart in two Though, you may have sent others fleeing in fear Though, it seemed you were only truly cared for by a few I will not give in I'll stand tall I'll push through the currents You won't see me fall Unless I'm on my knees before you Until your walls have crumbled and your heart is within my reach I'll gather every ounce of strength In order to make it So I can pull all your broken pieces into my arms, Pour the contents of my heart and soul into them In an attempt to show I care In an attempt to show you I'll always be here
Open the floodgates, my love Look into my eyes as I swim through the force Simply to cradle you in my arms Know this, if I can't make it to the other side I will die trying I won't give up on you
