“Like a gunshot from miles away She's moving in. Like a rainstorm without the clouds She falling in love with him. Like a phone call to warn her the phone never rings. They met after work one day She laughed with him. Not knowing what she was getting her self into. It's the truth before the lies. It's the way she doesn't try. It's the wink before the slight. She trusted him with all she had. He slips off his worn out suit And tries to rest. She's a million miles away Across the bed. She rolls over puts her hand Across his chest. She thought that love was going to fight. She thought that love was gonna take her home. She thought that love was gonna save her, But love just never showed.. She thought that love was always watching. Love was supposed to win But sometimes it's the demons That standing in the end.”
