And I didn’t know how to love
And I didn’t know to cry
And I didn’t know how to run
And I just want to fly away
A coward only stays, stays

I’d rather be struck by lightning
Than break it off tonight
I’d rather be struck by lightning
Than try to make you cry
Than try to make you cry

And I thought I knew how to care
And I thought I knew how to try
And I thought if I held her close
I can make
I can make
I can make her laugh again
But a coward only stays as friends

I’d rather be struck by lightning
Than break it off tonight
I’d rather be struck by lightning
Than try to make you cry
I’d rather be struck by lightning
Than break it off tonight
I’d rather be struck by lightning
Than try to make you cry

And I wait for sky to clear
And I wish I’d disappear

I can never be your love
I can never be your love
I can never be your love
Your love

I’d rather be struck by lightning
Than break it off tonight
I’d rather be struck by lightning
Than try to make you cry
I’d rather be struck by lightning
Than break it off tonight
I’d rather be struck by lightning
And try to make it right

And I wait for sky to clear
And I wish I’d disappear
