Flooding In
by Tammy Jann
2020
I'm the sympathetic ear
listening to your fears
lost in the waves of your emotions
I'm drowning in the commotion
struggling in your overflow
but you keep letting go
keep letting go
chorus
It's Flooding in
Flooding in
your words are pressing on the windows of my heart
there are cracks in the glass where the pain starts
you're pouring in more but I can't swim
and it keeps flooding in
it's flooding in
flooding in
I sit and listen to the stream
your words are hurtful and mean
Gasping for air and sent reeling
adrift in the depths of your feelings
This rush leaves me with no hope
ever since your dam broke
bridge
I've been sinking so long
I thought something was wrong
with me
but I let in this tide
and let you surf this ride
willingly
it's time to end this rain
let things drain
and set me free
