Facing the Storm

love can burn like fire  
it’s a feeling that grips you like no other
you can fight for someone 
and hope for their love
but when it all falls apart 
everything becomes wrong (so wrong, so wrong) 
what you thought you knew, is no longer your world
what you thought you had, no longer exist
(not here, not there, nowhere) 
it’s all gone with that fire 
it burnt out, to be 
no more, no more 
 
I know it’s true 
I still see pieces of you 
but the person I once knew is just too
far gone, far gone 
so stay away 
it’s all I can say 
because I’m not looking for us 
no more, no more 
 
the calm before the storm 
it seemed so sweet at first
but I could still sense the fear growing
the clouds darkening
felt the wind chills digging in 
and there you stood 
a goddamn raging storm 
you once said you loved me 
but that seems to be 
no more, no more  
 
oh, and that fire 
it grew so dim, baby 
and who I am 
it grew so dark, baby 
now that person you once new  
is so fucking wrecked
and I just don’t care anymore! 
 
I wished you well once 
can’t afford to make that mistake again 
I took you back more than I ever should  
you weren’t a mistake, you just changed too much 
changed into something I wouldn't follow 
but please know that child you once knew 
the cries that you once heard 
the weakness in me 
it was all just a faze 
passing to be… 
no more!, no more! 
 
I know it’s true 
I still see pieces of you 
but the person I knew is just too 
far gone, far gone 
so stay away 
it’s all I could say 
because I’m not looking for us 
no more!, no more! 
who you are 
no more!, no more! 
who I loved 
no more!, no more! 
who I was 
no more!, no more! 
it’s all gone!, it’s all gone! 
…. and I couldn’t be happier
