lyrics

You don't have to speak, your eyes already said it
But haven’t really said it all
Flowers only grow because of the rainfall
Standing tall isn't always tall

It’s okay to shed a tear if you need to
Nurse your spirits ‘til they're clean
Let them soak in deep, the roots need their attention
A faulty structure never keeps

This is the tale of every downpour
Everybody’s felt the first few drops
It's never meant to stop so there's no need to stop it
Not everything you leave is lost

Don’t apologize for anything you’re feeling
I won’t pretend to understand
I’ll just lend an ear when shit starts getting heavy
It's not a crime to need a hand

I'm not here to separate you from your sadness
I'm here to help you face its rage
You claim to be a basketcase
But that just means you're able
To carry more than what you thought you could

This is the tale of every downpour
Everybody’s felt the first few drops
It's never meant to stop so there's no need to stop it
Not everything you leave is lost

Feel free to lean on me when you can't hold yourself up
Let the current send your pain out to open waters
I would carry you, if you lost your footing

This is the tale of every downpour
Everybody’s felt the first few drops
It’s never meant to stop so there’s no need to stop it
Not everything you leave is lost

This is the tale of every downpour
Everybody’s felt the first few drops
It’s never meant to stop so there’s no need to stop it
Not everything you leave is lost
