[verse 1]
Fearing we'd be each other's doom
I buried my love for you in the graveyard
But are we below sea level here?
Because whenever enough teardrops fall to cause a flood
The corpse of my love for you shows up at my front door
Demanding answers as to how i could just throw away all of the love
[pre-chorus]
Every time i move in any which direction
All roads lead back to you
My intentions didn't play out like i had hoped
The truth, a bitter pill i take every morning just to cope
[chorus]
Tried to force away our pain
Instead i just forced myself away from you
Now i'm feeling taunted by the rain
As it falls even harder in your absence
Hurricane katrina is flooding new orleans
The levees have failed, the flood water's pouring in
[verse 2]
I'm sorry for the ways i've failed you
I loved to see you laugh
I'd never loved someone so deeply
And i thought you'd be my last
If i thought that things would be different
I'd stop fighting my internal compass
And let it guide me back to you
[pre-chorus]
Every time i move in any which direction
All roads lead back to you
My intentions didn't play out like i had hoped
The truth, a bitter pill i take every morning just to cope
[chorus]
Tried to force away our pain
Instead i just forced myself away from you
Now i'm feeling taunted by the rain
As it falls even harder in your absence
Hurricane katrina is flooding new orleans
The levees have failed, the flood water's pouring in
[chorus]
Tried to force away our pain
Instead i just forced myself away from you
Now i'm feeling taunted by the rain
As it falls even harder in your absence
Hurricane katrina is flooding new orleans
The levees have failed, the flood water's pouring in
