There was a time (the storm)

Here I am beneath the rain
Empty promises that thunder in the night
Something coming on the wind
Tell my heart it's gonna be all right
So why'd you take so long
My soul is aching you know I'm not that strong

There was a time I'd live and die for you
Gave you my heart every time
There was a time I'd laugh and cry with you
Only the strong can survive the storm

So tell me how you've been my friend
Do you think of me ever in your life
You gotta lose to learn lo win
I never knew it cuts you like a knife
So why'd you take so long
I'd wait forever but forever's far too long
