Standing outside, barely sheltered
I just try to use my lighter
but the wind and rain don't want me to
And so in that frustration
my mind starts contemplating
that's just how it is with me and you

'Cause at the start, there was sun
blue skies and warm days of love
but the clouds came and turned it all to grey
Now, that it has all fallen apart
and you face your broken heart
you just want us to try it all again
but that'd be like trying to light a cigarette
in the rain

Oh, so this decision's final
I had to leave for my survival
I won't say, but we know who's to blame
Oh, but hate me if you want to
break each mirror in front of you
but in the end, it's all still the same

Yes, I know it could be done
but so soon, it'd just be broken
oh, and no more can I afford to waste
So, go ahead, and travel so far
that'd be the best thing for my heart
'cause for me, to even try love again
that would be like trying to light a cigarette
in the rain

this is great
especially
the second chunk of lyrics

Thank you Steve. I appreciate that.

Bri, I honestly think that this is my second favorite. Awesome job.

Thanks so much Zak. I really appreciate it.

i love it. i think it's great the comparison you make between trying to make something work when it just doesn't, just like how hard it is to light a cig in the rain, pretty clever ;-)

Thanks Candice. I really appreciate you saying that. =)

candice said exactly what i was going to say. this one is awesome brian. i love how the first verse is about lighting the cig, and then everything else goes back and compares itself to that. thats genius man.

Wow. Thank you so much for the big compliment H. I really appreciate that.
