Words Left Unspoken

It’s gonna storm tonight

You can feel the humidity in the air

The smell of moisture in every suffocating breath you take in

You deny it so many times, it’s useless…you’re scared

You hide in the corner, holding onto every last piece of yourself

Whatever you have a grip on because you know none of it will stay

You hold on tight or you’re afraid it’ll all wash away

But baby, I’m telling you…

When the rain comes down, you stand back up

When the lightning illuminates the sky, you can start to cry

When the thunder cracks the air, don’t be afraid

I’m never letting go of you.

When the streets flood with water, don’t back down

When you feel like you’re drifting under, just hold on to my hand. It’s all going to turn around.

When it feels like there’s no hope, hope even harder

I promise you…

I won’t let you drown

Listen now, the storm will stop.

You won’t slip away…not from me.

I’ll be here. Don’t listen to what they say.

There is always a brand new day

Clear skies and beaming sunshine

On your shoulders, it’ll come in time

I got you baby, so remember…

When the rain comes down, you stand your ground

When the lightning flashes in the sky, don’t be afraid to cry

When the thunder whips through the air, don’t fall into your fears

I’m never letting you go.

When the water rushes down the streets like an everlasting river, don’t let it pull you away

When you feel like you’re slipping, just look into my eyes and you’ll be okay

When it feels like everything you’ve ever known is falling apart, just hold on even tighter

I promise you…

I won’t let you drown

I can’t stop the rain from coming down

But I can be your umbrella

I can’t tell you to stop crying

But I can dry your tears

I can’t stop the pain

But I can be with you every step of the way

Don’t be afraid

I won’t let you down

I won’t let you drown
