If Teardrops Could Talk

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]
It was somewhere in the middle of the night
She was sleeping with her mama by her side
Then she heard a voice she'd never heard before
Getting louder, shaking through the door

She didn't understand the words Daddy said
She only knew he scared her half to death
Then he said the words that made her world go black
And all she wanted was for him to take them back

[Pre-chorus]
She doesn't know why home became a place to hide
She only knows she wasn’t safe that night

[Chorus]
If teardrops could talk, they'd tell you everything
All the things a little girl still can't explain
If teardrops could talk, they'd tell you she's afraid
She needs somebody to hold her
And tell her she’ll be ok
If teardrops could talk
If teardrops could talk

[Break]

[Verse]
She walked through our door with tears upon her face
And cried, "Daddy wants to burn down our place"
Five years old, but suddenly she knew
That sometimes grown-ups say things they shouldn't do

[Pre-chorus]
She doesn't know why home became a place to hide
She only knows she wasn’t safe that night

[Chorus]
If teardrops could talk, they'd tell you everything
All the things a little girl still can't explain
If teardrops could talk, they'd tell you she's afraid
She needs somebody to hold her
And tell her she’ll be ok
If teardrops could talk
If teardrops could talk

[Bridge]
She doesn't need to carry all this pain
She shouldn’t have to wear a grown-up’s blame
She just needs a place where she can dream
And wake up knowing she's safe and free

[Final chorus]
If teardrops could talk, they'd tell you everything
All the things a little girl still can't explain
If teardrops could talk, they'd tell you she's afraid
She needs somebody to hold her
And tell her she’ll be ok

[Outro]
If teardrops could talk
You would hear them whisper through the dark
[Spoken]
"I'm just a little girl... Daddy, you’re breaking my heart."
If teardrops could talk...
If teardrops could talk...
