Hurricane
I'm bound up and broken Caught out in the open Tape over my mouth with so much left unsaid Like gathering thunder We spoke over each other Now strangers tied to opposite sides of the bed You say that I'm careless Unkind and defensive When all I want is someone there to hold me close I don't mean to be heartless I'm trying my hardest To think before I speak, but I'm voiceless I'll bide my time Watch the hurricane blow by And the clouds run dry I'll bite my tongue And hold on 'til my hands go numb Or the quiet comes Soaked through to my skin But I don't feel any different I'm a shivering mess of doubt and recklessness Songtexte I know it's my fault I'm stuck out here in the cold But it's hard letting go of what I wish you'd said Cause you told me I'm careless Unkind and defensive When all I want is someone there to hold me close I'll bide my time Watch the hurricane blow by And the clouds run dry I'll bite my tongue And hold on 'til my hands go numb Or the quiet comes Don't tell me I'm broken As I'm blowing out to sea Don't leave me high and dry It's swirling over me As I spin in slow motion A tide of chattering teeth Unravel and unwind White-knuckled, nails torn from grasping the boards as the storm rages inside of me Opened my mouth, tried to force something out, but I'm just too exhausted to speak I'll bide my time Watch the hurricane blow by And the clouds run dry I'll bite my tongue And hold on 'til my hands go numb Or the quiet comes I'll bide my time Watch the hurricane blow by And the clouds run dry I'll bite my tongue And hold on 'til my hands go numb Or the quiet comes Aus Songtexte Mania
