Quiet Storm Lyrics

by Claude Kelly

[Verse 1:]
It's only a paper cut
But it feels like a knife
It's only a moment
But it feels like my life
It's always the little things that slip through
And take you by surprise

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e63571-claude_kelly~quiet_storm_lyrics.html ]
[Hook:]
When you don't call
When you stay gone
When you don't say everything you're thinking
Try to be strong
Try to brush off
And pretend that nothing in me's breaking

[Chorus:]
But inside it hits like thunder
Inside the tears rise up like a flood
I'm gonna smile like nothing's wrong
But it feels like the quiet storm
And it hurts more than you'll ever know
Cause it feels like the quiet storm

[Verse 2:]
Breaking the blue sky
With a word from your lips
Changing the atmosphere
When everything shifts
You're so unpredictable
It's hard to find reasons why
I let you back in

[Hook:]
When you don't call
When you stay gone
When you don't say everything you're thinking
Hard to be strong
Hard to brush off
And pretend that nothing in me is breaking

[Chorus:]
But inside it hits like thunder
Inside the tears rise up like a flood
I'm gonna smile like nothing's wrong
But it feels like the quiet storm
And it hurts more than you'll ever know
Cause it feels like the quiet storm

[Bridge:]
And I'll never let you know
But inside the tempest grows

[Chorus: x2]
Cause inside it hits like thunder
Inside the tears rise up like a flood
I'm gonna smile like nothing's wrong
But it feels like the quiet storm

But inside it hits like thunder
Inside the tears rise up like a flood
I'm gonna smile like nothing's wrong
But it feels like the quiet storm
