The Last Straw

When the rain falls down upon you,
Will your feet hit the ground too?
Look at the rain in a different light,
Don't run or try to fight,
It won't be long before it backs away,
And you'll be longing for it to stay,
As dismissing tomorrow could be your flaw,
Today isn't the last straw.

When I try to reach for your hand,
You seem to not understand,
My sign of affection concealed within distrust,
One day we will adjust.
For my heart is changing its decision,
But changing it with precision,
As dismissing tomorrow could be your flaw,
Today isn't the last straw.

When their tears drop unnoticed to them,
They still cling onto life's dress hem,
Pulling themselves up to their feet,
While people watch from their high seats.
No one gets up to save them today,
'We'll help tomorrow' is what they say,
As dismissing tomorrow could be your flaw,
Today isn't the last straw.

When your fingertips start to burn,
You'll begin to think that it is your turn,
Time to fall back to hell,
That's what you get for saying 'well',
For if you'd given a little time,
You would have helped those people climb,
As dismissing tomorrow could be your flaw,
Today isn't the last straw.

When you find yourself hoping you had thought,
It'll only be because you got caught,
Caught up in this web of lies,
And you couldn't control the growing size,
You can't take the words back once they've gone,
Do you realise you are the only one,
Dismissing tomorrow could be your flaw,
Today isn't the last straw.

When you realise you have one last chance,
Will you have the last dance?
Realise that it's not worth dismissing,
Don't both the reminiscing,
You'll find out your weakest point,
Which may lead to disappoint,
As dismissing tomorrow could be your flaw,
Today isn't the last straw.
