December Rain

Right now my stomach's doing somersaults
As the rain keeps pounding on my window
Right now my soul's trying to heal its faults
My heart's cracking from all that it knows

I think back to when I had a lot of sunshine
And in July I had happiness by the masses
I think back to when I thought I was doing fine
But that's because I didn't wear my sunglasses

I figured out that because happiness was all I knew
Things for me had never really gone bad
I figured out that I really didn't have a clue
On how to feel guilt, misery, or be sad

I wondered why I never really felt complete
And why my mind was never really reliable
I wondered why I always felt so empty
And why my true life seemed more like a fable

I know now it was because I didn't know myself
I didn't know a little friend named pain
He taught me my little lesson himself
Nothing can live without a little December rain
