before the storm

i know this isn't what i wanted

i never thought it'd come this far

just thinking back to where we started

and how we lost all that we are

we were young and times were easy

but i could see it's not the same. i'm standing here but you don't see me

i'd give it all for that to change. and i don't want to lose her

i don't want to let her go. i'm standing out in the rain

i need to know if it's over

cause i would leave you alone. flooded with all this pain

knowing that i'll never hold her

like i did before the storm

before the storm

with every strike of lightning

comes a memory that lasts

not a word is left unspoken as the thunder starts to crash

maybe i should give up

i'm standing out in the rain

i need to know if it's over

cause i will leave you alone. flooded with all this pain

knowing that i'll never hold her

like i did before the storm

trying to keep the lights from going out

and the clouds from ripping out my broken heart. they always say a heart is not a home

without the one who gets you through the storm. standing out in the rain

knowing that it's really over

please don't leave me alone

i'm flooded with all this pain

knowing that i'll never hold you

like i did before the storm

yeah

like i did before the storm
