Lyrics

No, this is n’t what I want ed.

I nev er thought it’d come this far.

Just think in’ back to where we start ed

and how we lost all that we are.

We were young and times were eas y.

But I could see it’s not the same.

I’m stand in’ here but you don’t see me.

Give it all for that to change.

Well, (Em7)I don’t want

to lose her.

(Em7)Don’t wan na let her go.

Stand in’ out in the rain.

(A)Need to know if it’s o ver

’cause I would (Bm7)leave you a lone.

I’m flood ed with all this (Asus)pain,

(A)know in’ that I’ll nev er hold her

like I (Bm7)did

be fore

the storm.

Yeah,

be fore the storm.

With ev ’ry strike of light nin’

comes a mem o ry that (G)lasts.

And not a word is left un spo ken

as the thun der starts to crash.

(Em7)May be I

should give up.

(Bm7)did be fore

the storm.

Try’n’ to keep

the (Asus)lights from go in’ out

and the clouds from rip pin’ out my bro ken heart.

They al ways say

a (Asus)heart is not a home

with out the one who (Bm7)gets you through

the storm.

Stand in’ out in the rain,

(A)know in’ that it’s real ly o ver.

Please don’t (Bm7)leave me a lone.

I’m flood ed with all this (Bsus)pain,

(B)know in’ that I’ll nev er hold ya

like I (C#m7)did be fore

the storm,

yeah.

Like I (C#m7)did be fore

the storm.
