(Listen to the damn song. It's one of the best this incredible band has to offer! ♡)

 ❝ ...And I know places that make the rainy days seem so bright,
I've been to all of them a few times...❞

You made the rain beautiful again. The clouds; soft, luscious. The lightning a magnificent firework show.
You made me love the stormy nights.

You fundamentally altered me.

❝...Steady on my troubled mind... ❞

Tread softly around me for I am more vulnerable than I seem.
More weathered than you know.
More scarred than I'll ever show.
More in love with you than I'll ever choose to let on.

❝...It's true, I'm a weeping willow...❞

I'm terribly emotional, especially when it comes to you.

❝...Just wanna fade, watch it all drift away as I make my big escape...❞

If I still drank I'd down all the whiskey in this ancient house. Slide all the sleeping pills and codeine-laced painkillers down my raw throat. 
Brand my skin with the fire-heated element of a lighter.
Instead, I emblazon the world with my writing.
This has become my catharsis, my release of you.

You and I will die. These moody extracts about you will become the only thing immortalised in our absence.

❝...Leaning on my wounded pride; not the way I was designed...❞

I was  once proud. I once submitted to none. Yielded to fewer.
Now I implore you to love me.

I am pathetic and wish I could be more apathetic.

❝...You've left me with an empty heart tonight...❞

Who will reside in my heart now? Since you've insisted upon emigrating and evicting me from yours.
