The Sun Breaks the Storm
You tormented me so without saying a word
You kept your hands clean as you crushed my world
No one could ever point the finger at you
I must've been a fool for trying to
For eighteen long months I was in your grip
Although you had never held on to it
You went your way while I stayed behind
Trapped in the past playing in my mind
Something someday stirred within me
I became tired of being weak
I mustered courage I didn't know I had
Finally I faced what I always should have
My nerves were frayed but I stayed strong
I released grudges I'd held for so long
I submitted myself completely
Offered unneeded apologies
After all the pain and the sleepless nights
All it took was words to make things right
Suddenly the cloud over my head is gone
But after eighteen months it's hard to move on
It's like living underwater then taking a breath of air
It's hard for me not to worry although I shouldn't care
It's all over now and I can breathe again
It's safe to come out but it doesn't feel like the end
You kept your hands clean as you crushed my world
No one could ever point the finger at you
I must've been a fool for trying to
For eighteen long months I was in your grip
Although you had never held on to it
You went your way while I stayed behind
Trapped in the past playing in my mind
Something someday stirred within me
I became tired of being weak
I mustered courage I didn't know I had
Finally I faced what I always should have
My nerves were frayed but I stayed strong
I released grudges I'd held for so long
I submitted myself completely
Offered unneeded apologies
After all the pain and the sleepless nights
All it took was words to make things right
Suddenly the cloud over my head is gone
But after eighteen months it's hard to move on
It's like living underwater then taking a breath of air
It's hard for me not to worry although I shouldn't care
It's all over now and I can breathe again
It's safe to come out but it doesn't feel like the end
