Verse 1

There's a river,      and it's bleeding through my eyes

it's carrying emotions,           and a pain i try to hide

there's a river ,     and it's bleeding through your door

it's carrying emotions,        and the anger is a whore

what's on your mind.......what's on your mind

what's on your mind......what's on your mind

Chorus 1

I'm not trying to tell you something you don't understand

I'm just trying to tell you sometimes we all need a hand

Verse 2

There's a river,     and it's bleeding through my mind

and it's carrying my enemies, and a pain i left behind

what's on your mind.......what's on your mind

what's on your mind......what's on your mind

Chorus 2

I'm not trying to tell you something you don't understand

I'm just trying to tell you sometimes we all need a hand

I'm not trying to tell you something you already know

I'm just trying to tell you sometimes we all lose control

Bridge

and there's a river,      and it's bleeding through your door

and it's carrying a history and memories and enemies and memories

i can't handle anymore

Chorus 3

I'm not trying to tell you something you don't understand

I'm just trying to tell you sometimes we all need a hand

I'm not trying to tell you something you already know

I'm just trying to tell you sometimes you have to let the river flow

or the river won't flow
