Lyric

You came with a cup so full

I let you pour, I let you pour

Every kind word on my floor

Like rain at the back door

You said, "I just want to help"

And I believed you

Now every corner of my room

Is starting to bloom

Too much kindness

Too much kind

It soaked right in

Then drowned the line

I kept saying yes

Like it was love

Now the ground is tired

And I can't lift enough

Too much water

Too much water

Too much water

My roots can't breathe

Too much water

Too much water

I need some air

I need some leaves

I tried to grow through the flood

Tried to stand in the mud

But your hands kept coming back

With another soft attack

I know you meant me well

I know your heart was clean

But even good rain turns mean

When it never leaves

Too much kindness

Too much kind

It soaked right in

Then drowned the line

I kept saying yes

Like it was love

Now the ground is tired

And I can't lift enough

Too much water

Too much water

Too much water

My roots can't breathe

Too much water

Too much water

I need some air

I need some leaves

So let the surface dry

Let the hurt have shape

I'm not a house for storms

I'm a seed in the clay

You can love me best

By stepping back

By letting quiet come

By letting me crack

Too much water

Too much water

Too much water

My roots can't breathe

Too much water

Too much water

I need some air

I need some leaves
