. 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 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 skies 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 And I wait for sky to clear And I wish I'd disappear
