Lyrics
What makes two people fall in love
Then act as tho they don't?
What makes one take a leap of faith
To make sure that they won't
Ever speak unkindly words
Through countenance of scorn
How long?
How long?
Do they want the calm to be after the storm?
What makes us break each other's heart
And act as tho we're friends?
A game that ends with us apart
That neither one can win
Whatever happened in the past
Should leave the veil untorn
How long?
How long?
How long do they want the calm to be after the storm?
Hold me, kiss me
Ravage me on moonlit floors
Don't scold me. Just miss me
If I am what you love and live for
What makes to people fall in love
Then start another war?
When do we say we've had enough
And give up keeping score?
Nothing left to heal the burns
It's time we all forgive
Expecting nothing in return
Live and let live
How long?
How long?
How long do they want the calm to be after the storm?
This is what its like after the storm
