The Calm Before the Storm

I was held together

By only tied up strings

They sure weren’t tied tight enough

For what the future brings



I thought my life was back on track

I thought I had another chance

Turns out I tricked myself

It wasn’t true romance



CHORUS

Whenever life gets good

Whenever I feel warm

I know now what that means:

The calm before the storm



In real life nothing lasts

The truth will always come to pass

And as I drink another round

In my heart the rain pours down



I was looking forwards

To letting you inside

Now I don’t want anything

I just slam the door and hide



I thought my heart had found a friend

I thought you were for sure

Turns out you lied to me

You don’t want me any more



CHORUS



I am just so lonely

I know I’m not alone

But I can’t seem to reconnect

I hear the engaged tone



I can’t stand the way this hurts

I can’t stand to be ignored

You make me feel I don’t exist

I was your toy and you got bored
