Let the Floodgates Open

To hell with my defense and my coping
I'm gonna let the floodgates open
It took so much to let you in
But I let you in

Soul starts to leave my chest
Lay my weary head to rest
Waiting for my only truth
I'll dream of when I'll dream with you

Offer you my everything
But there's nothing left for me to bring
So pull me off the dusty shelf
And I promise I'll try to fix myself

To hell with my defense and my coping
I'm gonna let the floodgates open
It took so much to let you in
But I let you in
I never thought I'd find my way out
But you can help me find myself now
I thought by now I'd fall apart
But now you're in my way to start again

I tried and tried to fade away
But you believed in me and helped me stay
I know that I've seen better days
But losing you would be my mistake

I feel you shining like a star
Your glow, it tells me you're not far
I knew you'd fit me from the start
So take my hand and take my heart

To hell with my defense and my coping
I'm gonna let the floodgates open
It took so much to let you in
But I let you in
I never thought I'd find my way out
But you can help me find myself now
I thought by now I'd fall apart
But now you're in my way

Pourin' over me like rain
We'll stay inside, I'll keep you safe
The clouds will part, I'll meet you there
So don't be sad and don't be scared

I feel you shining like a star
Your glow, it tells me you're not far
I knew you'd fit me from the start
So take my hand and take my heart
