Once upon a time there was a storm
|
So unreal, it's hard to tell
|
No-one seems to understand
|
Once within my mind, there was a name
|
that I can't even start to spell
|
Cause I don't want to break again
|
|
All I do and all I am
|
Everything's because of him
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
My hell, my heart, my honesty
|
Myself and I grabbed hold of me
|
I would give him all that I have
|
But all I have was not enough and
|
My voice, my eyes will never see
|
The way they looked and spoke of me
|
Nowhere I can go to regain
|
Whatever I was before the rain
|
|
Every single time I close my eyes
|
My mind goes back to where he was
|
Cause she don't want to understand, no no
|
Love is not a crime, but it sure feels like doing time
|
My mind is shut, and she don't wanna let me in no
|
|
And all I do and all I am
|
Everything's because of him
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Whatever I was before the rain
|
Once upon a time there was a storm
|
So unreal, it's hard to tell
|
No-one seems to understand, oh
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Oh, oh, oh
|
Whatever I was before the rain
|
Whatever I was before the rain
|
|

Before The Rain
