as i watched in the shiftless sky i'm waiting the clouds begin to gather for the coming storm i saw you not for who you are unsheltered and tainted by the bitter winds that blew you away but i like a lonely child who found a friend oh i wanted to trust you 'cause you were all i had so i thought and so it seemed you walked away with my heart it hung heavy on your sleeve you drained the very part of me that hides my deepest fears i was lost inside myself you dragged me out into the night into the cold i wondered what you meant when you said don't be afraid i won't let anything harm you i won't let anything touch you so where do i go now that there's nowhere left to turn to and what do i do now that there's no one left to talk to i'm building these walls around me no one's going to break through so with nothing left to feel i close my eyes and close my heart i watched in the shiftless sky i'm waiting as the clouds begin to gather for the coming storm
