You said beautiful things to me Only to turn them into curses later on How naive was I to believe? I was a puppet, ready to be controlled And if I'm the source of your manipulation What are you without me? I'm the energy, the rain that connects the wires You need me, only me It was a fine line We had everything under control Until the road changed Our hands parted The rope that held us together Broke the moment the storm began I felt butterflies in my stomach I felt your touch on my skin I felt your lips on mine It was the thunder of the beginning It was a familiar line, a pedestal for you I cried in the rain, dead flowers were sent in the mail I knew it was you, I always knew My blue sky, turned gray, the rain falling with a great breeze It was the thunder of the beginning A guilt we'll carry for the rest of our lives I was broken and you were alone (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, thunder from the beginning) (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, thunder from the beginning) All the letters I've written With my best words My worst tears You seemed to feel, you tried to persuade me I was the thread that carried your lies I was the ocean you bathed in I felt butterflies in my stomach I felt your touch on my skin I felt your lips on mine It was the thunder of the beginning It was a familiar line, a pedestal for you I cried in the rain, dead flowers were sent in the mail I knew it was you, I always knew My blue sky, turned gray, the rain falling with a great breeze It was the thunder of the beginning A guilt we'll carry for the rest of our lives I was broken and you were alone (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, thunder from the beginning) (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, thunder from the beginning) When I'm turning blue Don't come and save me I'll finally be free I know we're far away That the wind has separated us But you don't have to come back I can already feel the air on my shoulders I already feel that this is where I'll stay It was the thunder of the beginning It was a familiar line, a pedestal for you I cried in the rain, dead flowers were sent in the mail I knew it was you, I always knew My blue sky, turned gray, the rain falling with a great breeze It was the thunder of the beginning A guilt we'll carry for the rest of our lives I was broken and you were alone (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, thunder from the beginning) (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, thunder from the beginning)
