That's Why They Call It a Union

There's a black cloud over this house

That's been around for three years now

There's a thunderstorm inside, and it won't go away

No, it won't go away

That's why they call it a union

That's why they call it a union

That's why they call it a union

I remember him turning around

He said, "Son, I'll be leaving now

I can't be the person that you want me to be"

And then she said, "So things are finally ending now

Yeah, I knew you'd be walking out

You can't be the person that you want me to be"

Want me to be

Three years of all the arguments

Three years of all this silence

Has been enough to last me a lifetime

Three years of all the arguments

Three years of all this pain

That's why they call it a union

That's why they call it a union

So both of you, please forgive me tonight

That's why they call it a union

So please forgive me tonight

I remember him turning around

He said, "Son, I'll be leaving now

You can't be the person that I want you to be"

Want you to be

Three years of all the arguments

Three years of all this silence

Has been enough to last me a lifetime

Three years of all the arguments

Three years of all this pain

That's why they call it a union

That's why they call it a union

So both of you, please forgive me tonight

That's why they call it a union

So please forgive me tonight

I can't look at the pictures anymore

Because I know how it's run its course

And I know how the story ends

I know it ends

There's a black cloud over this house

That's been around for three years now

There's a thunderstorm inside

And another fight tonight

There's a black cloud over this house

That's been around for three years now

There's a thunderstorm tonight, and it won't go away

No, it won't go away

That's why they call it a union

That's why they call it a union

So both of you, please forgive me tonight

That's why they call it a union

So please forgive me tonight

So please forgive me tonight

So please forgive me, goodnight
