**Verse 1**
You hit like a warning I chose to ignore
A tremor beneath every word
The windows all rattled, but I held the door
Like silence was safer than hurt
You said, “I’m a storm you don’t want in your head,”
I said, “I’ve been drowning for years.”
We danced in the wreckage of things left unsaid,
Just feeding our beautiful fears
**Pre-Chorus**
And I knew when the sky turned gray
It was only a matter of days
Before everything we built would break
**Chorus**
You were a natural disaster
I saw the clouds rolling in
But I stood in the middle of nowhere
And let the chaos win
You tore through my bones like a wildfire
Left nothing but smoke in my lungs
Now I’m sifting through ashes and after
Counting the damage you’ve done
**Verse 2**
We slept with the lights on and hope in our hands
Like that could keep lightning away
But love isn’t stronger than shifting sands
When both of us want to escape
You swore that you needed the thrill of the fall
I swore I could carry the weight
But cracks in the ceiling grow into the walls
And mercy always comes too late
**Pre-Chorus**
I felt every fault line shake
Every promise begin to break
Still I begged for one more wave
**Chorus**
You were a natural disaster
I felt it before it began
Like standing too close to the shoreline
And calling it part of the plan
You carved out your name in the ruins
Like wreckage was all that we knew
Now I’m tracing the outline of heartbreak
In everything I try to do
**Bridge (soft, stripped back)**
If love is a warning siren
Why do I run toward the sound?
Why do I build my home in the fire
Just to watch it burn down?
Maybe I needed the damage
Maybe I needed the pain
To learn I can’t save every hurricane
By letting it carry my name
**Final Chorus (bigger, raw)**
You were a natural disaster
But I was the one who stayed
I let you rewrite my horizon
Then blamed it on wind and rain
Now I hear those sirens fading
And I’m finally walking away
From the wreckage you left behind me
And the ruins I helped you make
**Outro**
No more standing in open water
No more calling it fate
I won’t romanticize the thunder
Or beg for another earthquake.
