The silence is saying there's trouble ahead
The pressure speaks louder than words
It feels like we're hanging on by a thread day to day
The closer we get seems we're further apart
Let's back off before it's too late
Since we know each other's lives by heart anyway
We've come so damn far and been through it all
It's hard to turn round with your back to the wall
And the tears rain down
It's a lover's storm
When the lightning strikes
And the pain is born
Feels like another lover's storm
When the heat of the night
Keeps our emotions warm
It's a lover's storm
We've got to give in, try to work it out
This whole thing's dragged on for so long
But I forgot what we're fighting about anymore
Now I just don't know how much I can take
I'm bending so far feels like I'm gonna break
And the tears rain down
