I was the queen of storms
The one that used to play with fire
And thought that by showing them my strength they would stay
and we would live in a romantic comedy written by Woody Allen

I think he can see the scars in my heart
But for the first time, they are not being used for a man's own advantage
My mind is peacefully floating in a clear blue ocean
and I'm not covering my soul with any bandages

And I wonder
where are those nights of staying awake
writing about someone else's mistakes
like they were my own
And I feel like I am waiting
for the thunder that lights up the sky
and the fear, and the lies
But I have this feeling they will never come this time

My body feels lighter and my expectations are running free
"Hey kid, that's how it is supposed to be"
And here life is tough, but he is always there for me
"Hey kid, that's how it is supposed to be"
I have built worlds and watched them burn
and they would always flee
But now I find comfort in his light blue eyes
and that is how it is supposed to be

I was sitting and waiting patiently
while they were melting my heart of gold
And it took me 24 cold springs to realize
that like hurricanes, love cannot be controlled

I think he wonders what is going on inside my mind
when I am lost in my thoughts like they were a black hole
But the past ceased to be my favorite place for visiting
and those visions of the future do not scare me anymore

And I genuinely smiled
on that first time you sang like Louis Armstrong
and whenever you tell me about how life has made you strong
with that shy passion in your eyes
And the beauty of it all
is that I finally get to fall
for someone I never had to beg to be mine
