  • Yeah-ah-ah
    Whoa-oh-oh-oh

    I know this isn't what I wanted
    I never thought it'd come this far
    I'm thinkin' back to where we started
    And how we lost all that we are

    We were young and times were easy
    I could see it's not the same
    Standing here but you don't see me
    Give it all for that to change
    And I don't want to lose her
    Don't want to let her go

    Standing out in the rain
    Need to know if it's over
    'Cause I will leave you alone

    Flooded with all this pain
    Knowing that I'll never hold her
    (Like I did before the storm) Miley Cyrus, everybody
    (Before the storm)

    With every strike of lightning
    (Comes a memory that lasts)
    And not a word is left unspoken
    As the thunder starts to crash
    (And maybe I should give up)

    Standing out in the rain
    I need to know if it's over
    ('Cause I would leave you alone)
    Flooded with all this pain
    Knowing that I'll never hold her
    Like I did before the storm

    (Trying to keep the lights from going out)
    The clouds from ripping out my broken heart
    You always say a heart is not a home
    Without the one who gets you through the storm

    Standing out in the rain
    Knowing that it's really over
    Please don't leave me alone

    I'm flooded with all this pain
    Knowing that I'll never hold ya
    Like I did before the storm, yea-yeah

    Like I did before the storm Writer/s: Joseph Jonas, Miley Cyrus, Nicholas Jonas, Paul Kevin Jonas
