Your blue eyes looked so peaceful

While the storm raged on in me

The tears filled up my eyes and now I finally see

I've been livin' high and mighty

But now I'm at an all-time low

Now I'm reaching out to hold you

As you turn around to go



I should've been more careful

I should've seen the signs

While all was calm, I guess

I should have read between the lines

So, now I'm standing in the cold, hard rain

Instead of with you safe and warm

A fool who took your love for granted

In the calm before the storm



So, I'm standin' here alone

I've never felt like this before

Can't believe my heart's been broken

Just like waves against the shore

I could always love and leave them

I was the first one out the door

I can't get used to the idea

Not being with you anymore



I should've been more careful

Yes, I should've seen the signs

While all was calm, I guess

I should have read between the lines

So, now I'm standing in the cold, hard rain

Instead of with you safe and warm

A fool who took your love for granted

In the calm before the storm



A fool who took your love for granted

In the calm before the storm
