[Verse 1]
Someone left your heart shattered, someone brought you home flowers
You fell off of that ladder, but you've got the power
To get back up when you're feeling not okay and you don't know
Shine a light in your shadows, you're not alone 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's been broken, everybody's been down
Keep the floodgates open, let it all out, yeah
Everybody's been broken, everybody's been down
Keep the floodgates open, let it all out, 'cause
[Chorus]
Every tear can put out a fire, every tear can put out a fire
Every tear can put out a fire, every tear can put out a fire
Every tear can put out a fire, every tear can put out a fire
Every tear can put out a fire
So let them fall, fall, fall
So let them fall, fall, fall
So let them fall
[Verse 2]
Standing there in your white dress, trapped with your secrets
Wanting all that you can't get, this power and this weakness
Fall in love with your downfalls, make the best of your bad calls
Throw regret out the window, you're not alone 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's been broken, everybody's been down
Keep the floodgates open, let it all out, yeah
Everybody's been broken, everybody's been down
Keep the floodgates open, let it all out, cause
[Chorus]
Every tear can put out a fire, every tear can put out a fire
Every tear can put out a fire, every tear can put out a fire
Every tear can put out a fire, every tear can put out a fire
Every tear can put out a fire
So let them fall, fall, fall
So let them fall, fall, fall
So let them fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's been broken, everybody's been down
Keep the floodgates open, let it all out, yeah
