Within My Storm

I drive my self up the wall everyday

thinking about all the things I want to say.

Then I beat myself back down right after

because I don't know if it would even matter.

 

There's nothing like knowing someone

who can break your walls down like no one.

Someone who takes your heart to the next level...

who brings a little bit of heaven to your hell. 

Is it you? It should be easy to tell...

 

Cause all I see is chaos day in and day out

until you walk up to me, then I can only smile.

It doesn't matter how bad it's been

or if I'm in my head again.

No matter how much I'm torn...

You're the peace within my storm.

 

I get out of bed on most days

thinking about everything I should've said,

and I beat myself up one more time

for not acting sooner to make you want to be mine.

 

There's nothing like believing for once

when someone says you're the amazing one.

The same one who breaks your walls down...

with a look of her eyes, she melts them all away even now.

Don't you know? I'd give it my everything, somehow!

 

Cause all I see is chaos day in and day out

until you walk up to me, then I can only smile.

It doesn't matter how bad it's been

or if I'm in my head again.

No matter how much I'm torn...

You're the peace within my storm.

 

It's loud inside my head.

I go back to this place again and again.

I'm tired of where I've been. 

 

The storm is all around me,

but you're all that I can see.

With one look, you bring me to my knees.

No matter what I try to do.

My defenses melt for you,

and it scares the hell out of me too.

 

I never cared so much about right and wrong.

I just don't want you gone.

This life ain't that great when you're alone...

I wish we weren't so torn.

I wish I could show you more

of how you're the peace in my storm!

 

Cause all I see is chaos day in and day out

until you walk up to me, then I can only smile.

It doesn't matter how bad it's been

or if I'm in my head again.

No matter how much I'm torn...

You're the peace within my storm.

Some idiot got me hooked on Brantley Gilbert. Picture something by him. Don't worry...the idiot thing is an inside joke.
