[lyrics]
This is the end but you never knew It would come and it came so soon.
Letter reads she’s been missing you And she asks if you’ve missed her too
Chorus:
We were born inside the eye of the storm. Sent from the garden by the angel of the lord
And we can’t go back to the kids we were before. All of the dreams we had we don’t dream them anymore.
And this is now but it seems so strange. The love you found, it found a way to change
The months have passed since when you first met. And happiness is a seldom friend
And the truth, it won’t set you free. So whisper lies as she falls asleep.
Chorus:
We were born inside the eye of the storm kept from the garden by the angel’s flaming sword
And we once walked there in the cool part of the day. We were naked but we knew no other way.
I said I’d love you till the day that we both died. All my promises they make such perfect lies
Things are hard now, and they’ll never be the same. The fruit of knowing is the knowledge of our pain.
This begins like it always does. A pretty face and you fall in love.
She’s the one, and you know it’s true. Forever comes cause she’s perfect for you
