The Storm

You held your arm around me To keep me warm We used to sleep so soundly Before the storm Hand in hand at day time At night we kissed We picked wildflowers But there were some we missed We didn't spend our money Just our time Built up the kind of love that Gold can't buy Weather was always perfect The sky so blue We almost didn't notice The wind blow through If this house Goes down We can't rebuild it again If we can't get out It's time to lay our love to rest To rest I'll always want you like I did before It just don't seem like It's been working anymore If only we could go back to The calm before the storm We danced around the kitchen And I kissed your neck The bedroom's full of memories That we can't forget Where you spoke words to me that You never meant Flashes of pain like lightning Almost struck me dead If this house Goes down We can't rebuild it again If we can't get out It's time to lay our love to rest To rest I'll always want you like I did before I can't help but notice It ain't working anymore If only we could go back To the calm before the storm Before your lies And my bitterness You apologized But I couldn't forgive The pointless fights The ER trips The anxious nights Regretting what we did The lonely drives Loud silences We tried and tried Not to let it end like this The last goodbye Our final kiss I can still hear you cry And it still makes my stomach sick There ain't a day that I don't miss That house It went down And we couldn't rebuild it again We had to get out We had to lay our love to rest To rest I still want you like I did before It's a shame that we Just don't work anymore But when I close my eyes I see the calm Before the storm
