[Verse 1] I met her where the pavement, meets the county line a city girl seein' what she could find Sun on her face, with a storm right behind I knew she was trouble, but I didn't mind We were sideways rain with a firey glow Hands out the window, lettin’ both hearts go Yeah, she felt like home, but she just wouldn't stay If I got too close, she’d run away [Pre-Chorus] She’d pull me under, then let me breathe Like she was everything, that I’d ever need [Chorus] Shes a long' hard winter, A spring time rain, A clear' blue sky And a hurricane' Shes a saint and a sinner Mercy' and blame My only broken' heart, And my only flame [Verse 2] There were nights, she’d lay her head on my chest I thought this is forever, if I had to guess But forever turned to leavin’ without a trace I knew in my heart she didn't wanna be chased I tried prayin, tried runnin’ away Tried drownin’ out, every word she’d say But her ghost still lingers in every song And I'll never be right as long as she's gone [Pre-Chorus] Yeah she’d hold me close, then disappear Like "I love you" was somethin’ she couldn’t hear [Chorus] Shes a long' hard winter, A spring time rain, A clear' blue sky And a hurricane' Shes a saint and a sinner Mercy and blame My only broken' heart, And my only flame [Bridge] She was freedom, she was chains A little too wild, for me to tame She was comfort, she was pain Sunshine cut with pourin rain [Breakdown] She was the reason, I believed in love Now she's the reason, I don’t trust it much [Final Chorus] Shes a long' hard winter, A spring time rain, A clear' blue sky And a hurricane' Shes a saint and a sinner Mercy and blame My only broken' heart, And my only flame [Outro] Yeah she’s gone, but she ain’t really gone She’s the hurt I keep holdin’ on
