Natural Disaster

Loving you has never been easy
Whirlwinds or hurricanes can’t compare
You stirred more than excitement in me
Thoughts of you flash before me like lightning

And I alone, now that you’re gone
Understand the phrase – Natural Disaster

The typhoon of love my heart has endured
The winds of change I’ve desired
My heart now lies in shambles
As you’ve chosen to leave me without

And I alone, now that you’re gone
Understand the phrase – Natural Disaster

I gave you the keys to the depths of me
You pained me where others have never gone
You pillaged every part of me
And now my trust in others lies broken upon the rocks

And I alone, now that you’re gone
Understand the phrase – Natural Disaster

You never rested ‘til I was destroyed
You left bridges burnt and cities in ruin
All to satisfy the tortures of your past
By those creatures I’ll never know

And I alone, now that you’re gone
Understand the phrase – Natural Disaster
