Dead Inside

Storm

I never believed in love at first sight

and whenever men came near, I'd put up a fight

too scared to try; take a risk

I hid under the covers until the storm was over

I never knew true friendship

cuz I feared being let down

I never learned to swim

because I feared I'd drown

I'd let the tears stream out

instead of putting on a brave face

I gave up on the race

before it even began

I didn't dare inturrupt

my own fate

I let it go it's own course

through the lightening and the hail

I never thought the storm could end

so I let the rain overtake me

and soak me to the bone

I didn't see the rainbow behind it all

or the sun coming my way

all I saw was the clouds of gray

and the thundering storm above
