The silence is more deafening than thunder,
So I’m glad that the rain finally came.
I hear it on the roof and Iwonder
If I’ll ever be brave, or if things will stay the same.
I’m sad, and I don’t know why.
I’m shaking, and I want to cry.
I don’t know,
I don’t know-
I just want to fold in upon myself.
Feel like I’ve fallen down from my safe little shelf.
I feel like I’ll up and blow away on the wind,
I need oh, so badly, to feel the rainfall on my skin.
I’m so lost and tired of things going wrong,
They’ve been going in that direction for far too long.
It’s so wrong,
I’m long gone
On a long and lonely journey
And it feels like something’s out to hurt me.
My tears are falling, falling down,
And I swear I’m going to drown.
All I want is you to hold me,
I wish someone would have told me
That the road would be like this,
I can’t forgetour very last kiss.
I’m so lost, so lost
I can’t seem to go on.
I never knew what this would cost,
Or how badly this could go wrong.
I can’t breathe, can’t breathe
Because I’m watching you leave.
I’m no damsel, but I am so damn distressed,
How much more of me can break; how much more of mecan fail this test?
I don’t know what to do,
Standing here in front of you.
So hold on, hold on,
And let me imagine that we’re strong.
Hold on tight for just a little while,
Hold ontight, pleasemake me smile-
Hold me close, to the comfort of you,
Because I don’t know what to do.
Just let this rain caress my skin,
But don’t tell me it’s the end.
Let me imagine that this is were we begin,
Even though it’s just pretend.
So let this storm come, and make it okay.
I want the thunder and lightning to wash my thoughts away.
Goodbye love, goodbye now, I hate to see you go
But darling we both know
That this is how our story ends.
