Borrowed Words: Another Love Song

The flashback starts, I'm standing there

My daddy broke his own heart;
My momma swore that she would never let herself forget.

I remember thinking...
Don't you think I was too young to be played by your dark, twisted games?

That was the day that I promised,
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

I told myself,
"Keep your feet on the ground,
When your head's in the clouds"

Because I'm tired of castles in the air

Save me,
From all the trouble and the pain...
I need a second chance

I always got by on my own

I swore I was fine

[Kept] a straight face

... Until I met you

Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face

You put your arms around me
And I believed
That it's easier for you to let me go

But you [learned] my secrets and you [figured] out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes

And in that instant,
I [knew] you [were] worth it
You're worth it

You put your arms around me

Now your name, forever the name on my lips

And I'm on my way to believing

So bring on the rain
And listen to the thunder
