That's why they call it a union

There's a black cloud over this house
That's been around for three years now
There's a thunderstorm inside
And it won't go away
No it won't go away

That's why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union

I remember him turning around
He said, son, I'll be leaving now
I can't be the person that you want me to be
And then she said, so things are finally ending now
And I knew you'd be walking out
You can't be the person that you want me to be

Want me to be
Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all this silence
Has been enough to last me a lifetime
Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all this pain

That's why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union
So both of you please forgive me tonight
That's why they call it a union
So please forgive me tonight

I remember him turning around
He said, son, I'll be leaving now
You can't be the person that I want you to be

Want you to be
Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all this silence
Has been enough to last me a lifetime
Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all this pain

That's why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union
So both of you, please forgive me tonight
That's why they call it a union
So please, forgive me tonight

I can't look at the pictures anymore
Because I know how it's run its course
And I know how the story ends
I know it ends

There's a black cloud over this house
That's been around for three years now
There's a thunderstorm inside
And another fight tonight

There's a black cloud over this house
That's been around for three years now
There's a thunderstorm tonight
And it won't go away
No it won't go away

That's why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union
So both of you please forgive me tonight
That's why they call it a union
So please, forgive me tonight
So please, forgive me tonight
So please forgive me, good night
