Waiting For The Rain

September 13th, 2009

You say I don’t know you
But I’m sure I know you better
You’re staying in alone
Just to be under the weather
Pushing me away
But I know just who you are
You could take a step past me
But you’re taking this too far

[Chorus:]
Waiting for the rain
Cause you know it’s on its way
Just lock away the pain
There could be a better day
And all you want to do
Is sit around and cry
Stop waiting for the rain
If you want to stay dry

I know that something’s wrong
It shines clearly in your eyes
But your smile never fades
Even when it’s all a lie
Looking at you
Fills my heart in pain
Because I lost you
When you stepped into the rain

[Chorus:]
Waiting for the rain
Cause you know it’s on its way
Just lock away the pain
There could be a better day
And all you want to do
Is sit around and cry
Stop waiting for the rain
If you want to stay dry

Hear the thunder
Feel the lightning
Deep inside
This storms so frightening
And I acknowledge you’re brave
Acknowledge that you’re strong
But deep inside
This solution is so wrong

[Chorus:]
Waiting for the rain
Cause you know it’s on its way
Just lock away the pain
There could be a better day
And all you want to do
Is sit around and cry
Stop waiting for the rain
If you want to stay dry

Always

September 4th, 2009

I remember how confused I was, so many things running through my mind just about what was going on, and then we laid in awkward silence. The silence broke and you told me you loved me, and you had said it many times before, but none of it was real, none of it was what I needed, none of it was what I wanted. Time’s long gone since then, and this is when I start to realize the truth, I got myself caught up in a bad situation, and I don’t want it to count, so it shouldn’t. I believe how I feel, and how I feel is that I’m pure, and nothing’s what you said, and I’m alone. Half fact, half question, never sure of myself, but I have something that you didn’t take, not even close, and I let my love for you get in the way of the truth. I love you, but not as I did before, and I never should have, and I never will again. I’ve come to a strong decision of this part of me, and step by step I’ll figure out the rest: I’m alone, and I always have been.

Alone again
That’s how all my stories end
Who once was a confidant
Isn’t even a friend
There was no resolution
And no pages to turn
You struck the match
But I watched the bridge burn
Our time has run out
Merely seconds on the clock
So as we walk away
We let the final grain drop
