It's the calm before the storm
You can feel it getting closer
The signs are tattered and torn
Darkness fills the sky
Can you feel the rain?
The water's getting deeper
Lightning strikes the ground
There's no one left to save you now
She's creeping
Into my bloodstream
Then crawling
Out into
Then it sinks in
I'm not where I'm supposed to be
It's so boring
Being what you want me to be
So I can cry for my age, my life and my faceAnd I will wash off all the dirtyDirty thoughts I had about youAnd I can cry 'cause I got so much she has notAnd I will wash off all the dirtyDirty thoughts I had about you now
Wish I had no expectations
I really wish that I could get it through your head
With no confrontation
I really wish we could talk about it instead
All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side
And you're in the same fucking bed
Wish I had no expectations
But I expect, you expect, we expect
Of course she was sad
But now she's glad she dodged a bullet
Took a few years
To soak up the tears
But look at her now
Watch her go
Look at her now
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
All the good girls go to hell
'Cause even God herself has enemies
And once the water starts to rise
And heaven's out of sight
She'll want the devil on her team
Never gonna be brokenhearted
Ever again
(That shit's out the door)
I'm only gonna sing about love
Ever again
Never gonna let it happen
Then it won't be for all or nothing
Oh, I swear I'm never gonna be brokenhearted
Ever again
She won't break your heart,
but she will test its limits.
Fair?
Probably not,
but neither is life,
and life provides
opportunity,
not justice.
