Story Behind The Song

Inspired by personal experiences.

Song Description

Likens love to standing in a thunderstorm after you've already been struck by lightning once.

Lyrics

I?ve heard it said hurt people hurt people
Well I?ve been struck with a blow myself a time or two
I?ve done my share of hurting
And I?ve caused my share of pain
Lord knows we could compare stories, just we two

Now standin here before you feels like standin in a thunderstorm
With nothing left to protect myself from hurt
And all that I can think is I should be runnin away again
But here I stand.. I?m not movin..

The wind is blowin, rain?s pourin down
Hittin so hard I can?t touch the ground
And the last time I was here I was struck by lightning
They say the tough get goin when the goin?s rough
Honey right now I don?t feel so tough
It?s a game for keeps I could be losin
(But) For you, I?m layin it on the line again

In this game of love, there?re no guarantees
And I?m quite sure this ain?t no game at all
But I think I see something comin straight from you
Something that I want inside me too

Well it?s scary, it?s unsettling
I?ve never felt this way before
I feel like I?m temptin Fate one too many times
But love and all that comes with it is worth it to me now
So I?m opening my heart up to you
