I know theres a storm out We still have to take this walk This time we must take different paths I think it will be easier if we don’t talk I face my path The puddles are knee high Im used to you holding my umbrella Doing the most to keep me dry I turn back like a fool You’re well on your way Confidence in every stride While I wonder like a stray Remember when you held me close And stroked my face to sleep Telling me don’t be afraid That you were mine to keep And when I fell for you You said don’t be afraid at all Youd always be there to catch me And I wouldn’t even have to call But Im screaming for you now You cant hear me through the wind Im falling too fast Now the impact has me pinned Im too drained to hurt I just lay and think As I remember you’re gone I feel myself start to sink My storm is still raging I know I must keep going I force my way through And notice the wind is slowing I don’t need this liquid cure Only a strong mind with steady legs The strength to not look back Just keep my focus straight ahead I wont think of you Until your memory comes without tears Ill take care of myself The way you did for those three years With these vows to myself Each step gets lighter And the sun is out now Making my path much brighter I know the rainclouds Will be back with more Ill be waiting with open arms Welcoming the pour Ill show you my lovely I can handle my own Dare me to go out Ill face the storm With no turning back this time I wish you clear skies Cool nights and warm days Laughter instead of cries |
