There’s something magical you can do Sorting through the wave of thoughts That are flooding my head with a mix of truth and lies And you show me what is real I want so badly to see what you see To break my storm to the other side You make everything make sense The world is far simpler than it seems And when I choose to believe you You know just what to say To help me take my hands off my eyes and I see There was never a storm here to begin with Just a beautiful, bright sunrise There’s something unusual you can do Hiding the storm inside you So all I see are sunny skies in your face Until suddenly in a flash I see your storm Pouring rain, pounding into my skull Thunder cracking so loudly it shakes the world Lightning so bright and white and blinding It exposes your shame which was hidden I notice the ferocity of the storm so much more intensely Because I am seeing your pain Echoing back at me the same words I’ve heard myself a dozen times And you stand there, utterly soaked Rain dripping off your clothes, your hair unrecognizable You’re drowning in your own sorrow Ashamed of what you’ve become So I stand next to you I know I cannot make this storm go away But I want to be here with you I want to be your umbrella Even if I get struck by lightning a million times I want to be here with you I know I won’t make much of a difference But it doesn’t mean I won’t try With every fiber of my being To make you happy again And if I can’t do that Then I just want to be with you

There’s something magical you can do Sorting through the wave of thoughts That are flooding my head with a mix of truth and lies And you show me what is real I want so badly to see what you see To break my storm to the other side You make everything make sense The world is far simpler than it seems And when I choose to believe you You know just what to say To help me take my hands off my eyes and I see There was never a storm here to begin with Just a beautiful, bright sunrise There’s something unusual you can do Hiding the storm inside you So all I see are sunny skies in your face Until suddenly in a flash I see your storm Pouring rain, pounding into my skull Thunder cracking so loudly it shakes the world Lightning so bright and white and blinding It exposes your shame which was hidden I notice the ferocity of the storm so much more intensely Because I am seeing your pain Echoing back at me the same words I’ve heard myself a dozen times And you stand there, utterly soaked Rain dripping off your clothes, your hair unrecognizable You’re drowning in your own sorrow Ashamed of what you’ve become So I stand next to you I know I cannot make this storm go away But I want to be here with you I want to be your umbrella Even if I get struck by lightning a million times I want to be here with you I know I won’t make much of a difference But it doesn’t mean I won’t try With every fiber of my being To make you happy again And if I can’t do that Then I just want to be with you
