Jimmy Lamoreau - The Storm We Built Lyrics

We started with bricks, solid and true,
Built our love like a house with a hell of a view.
But the cracks crept in, and the rain poured hard,
We were too proud to patch the parts.
I felt the wind change, saw the shadows crawl,
Still we held tight, thinkin' we'd outlast it all.
We built a storm, thought we could tame the sky,
But the thunder rolled, and the lightning lied.
We built a storm, call it love, call it pride,
Now we're standin' here with no place to hide.
The walls we painted with colors so bright,
Are peeling back under the weight of the fight.
We danced in the rain 'til it turned to a flood,
The floor gave way, and we drowned in the mud.
You said love's a shelter, a place to belong,
But shelters break when the storm grows strong.
We built a storm, thought we could tame the sky,
But the thunder rolled, and the lightning lied.
We built a storm, call it love, call it pride,
Now we're standin' here with no place to hide.
Do you remember the promises we made?
Do you hear the whispers of the choices we betrayed?
The roof didn't fall-it was torn apart,
By the winds of the words that hardened our hearts.
We built a storm, and we let it win,
But I'd build it again, just to feel what we felt back then.
