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
