Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lately I've been reflecting, stuck at this intersection
Can't figure which way to go to get myself out this depression
Wonderin' if it's worth it, wonderin' while I'm searchin'
Wonderin' if I'll find out that nothing is ever perfect
I wonder if God can hear me, never felt more deserted
Feel like I'll never flourish, I've never felt more discouraged
Gotta be more to life than just living and dying
A cloud of smoke behind me now because the bridge is on fire
I used to think it was cool to hustle, but now I know
That I can't buy my way to Heaven with the drugs I sold
Lord, won't you guide the way for me? 'Cause I've got both eyes closed
And if Moses can part the sea, then help me just let go
[Chorus]
Woah, woah
Woah
If these tears could talk (Tears could talk)
I wonder what they'd say (Woah)
Woah, woah
Woah
All the times we lost (Times we lost)
We lose ourselves along the way
[PostChorus]
If these tears could talk (Tears could talk)
If these tears could talk (Tears could talk)
If my tears could talk (Tears could talk)
I wonder what they'd say
[Verse 2]
Mama's got an addiction, been running for way too long
She been playing the same old game and she hasn't been the same
Since I was little, she used to be my shoulder to cry on
When the hurricane came and nobody was there to save me
I used to be Mama's little baby
But now I'm looking at her like she's the villain
She was disguised as the Joker, now I'm feelin' like
I'm Batman when I'm looking in the mirror and my vision's clearer
Hiding my truth, done livin' under a rock
Bars on my heart, I need a key for the lock
If tears could really talk, here's the story they would tell
Now listen closely as my tears begin to yell
[Chorus]
Woah, woah
Woah
If these tears could talk (Tears could talk)
I wonder what they'd say (Woah)
Woah, woah
Woah
All the times we lost (Times we lost)
We lose ourselves along the way
[PostChorus]
If these tears could talk (Tears could talk)
If these tears could talk (Tears could talk)
If my tears could talk (Tears could talk)
I wonder what they'd say
[Chorus]
Woah, woah
Woah
If these tears could talk (Tears could talk)
I wonder what they'd say (Woah)
Woah, woah
Woah
All the times we lost (Times we lost)
We lose ourselves along the way
[PostChorus]
If these tears could talk (Tears could talk)
If these tears could talk (Tears could talk)
If my tears could talk (Tears could talk)
I wonder what they'd say
