Lyrics

Cloudy Skies

[Chorus]

I, I'm looking up at cloudy skies

I look ahead and see my sorrow

No choice but to live tomorrow

Nothing else left to do

I have no choice but to choose

I have no choice

[Verse 1]

Looking up at cloudy skies

I look ahead and see my sorrow

You, you don't even see me

I know you are not looking clearly

I see them coming for you

Tenderness, I'm sore

This is exactly what my body's for

With a sigh, heave

I would be the first to hear you breathe

Now there's just falling leaves

[Pre-Chorus]

Get by the best I know

Can't say goodbye to you and let her go

Do you stay just to keep me warm?

When we know the fire's gone

[Chorus]

I, I'm looking up at cloudy skies

I look ahead and see my sorrow

No choice but to live tomorrow

Nothing else left to do

I have no choice but to choose

I have no choice

[Bridge]

When we know the fire's gone

When we know the fire's gone

Do you stay, just to keep me warm

Do you stay just to keep me warm

Stay just to keep me warm

When we know the fire's gone

Do you stay, just to keep me warm

Stay just to keep me warm

[Chorus]

I, I'm looking up at cloudy skies

I look ahead and see my sorrow

No choice but to live tomorrow

Nothing else left to do

I have no choice but to choose

I have no choice but to choose

Nothing else left to do

I have no choice but to choose

Looking up at cloudy skies
