143 Lyrics by Set It Off

Calm Before the Storm

2009

[Verse 1]
This is it, listen up right now
I'm singing this for all the world to hear
This is our story, in lack of human glory
So tonight, I'm breaking down
Despite what you may have found
Attention, the nice-guy's left the room
And now the prick will take the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
So here we go, I'm not alone
Your cover's blown
Hey, sweetie, welcome to your song

[Chorus]
I never wanted to exploit your every flaw
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward
I know I never wanted to see you fall
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward

[Verse 2]
Subject 'K', it's you I loathe the most
Quick to threat and quick to boast
It's just too damn sad and too damn bad
You'll not even come close to what I can do
Your girl knows this much is true
I'll admit I was unaware that two cheaters make a pair

[Pre-Chorus]
So here we go, I'm not alone
Your cover's blown
Hey, sweetie, welcome to your song

[Chorus]
I never wanted to exploit your every flaw
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward
I know I never wanted to see you fall
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward

[Bridge]
Those pictures sit on your shelf
No more being yourself
In this returning thorn in your side
Go ahead, believe the words he says
Tell yourself it will be different and
May your lips taste of mine when you kiss him

[Chorus]
I never wanted to exploit your every flaw
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward
I know I never wanted to see you fall
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward
