Before The Storm (Main Version
Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I know this isn't what I wanted
Never thought it'd come this far
Thinkin' back to where we started
And how we lost all that we are
We were young and times were easy
Standing here but you don't see me
Give it all for that to change
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 would leave you alone
I'm flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold her
Like I did before the storm
Yeah-ah-ah
Before the storm
With every stike of lightning
Comes a memory that lasts
Not a word is left unspoken
As the thunder starts to crash
Maybe I should give up
Standing out in the rain
Need to know if it's over
Cause I would leave you alone
I'm flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold her
Like I did before the storm
I'm trying to keep the lights from going out
And the clouds from ripping out my broken heart
They 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
Yeah
Like I did before the storm
The song "Before The Storm" by Jonas Brothers featuring Miley Cyrus is an emotional ballad about a troubled relationship that's on the verge of ending. The song opens with the singer reflecting on how things have changed and how they never thought it would come to this. Despite their efforts to save the relationship, they feel like they're standing in the rain with no end in sight. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and heartbreak, as the singer acknowledges that they may never be able to hold their partner like they did before the storm.
The song's chorus is particularly poignant, as the singer expresses their desire to keep the relationship alive. They're flooded with pain at the thought of losing their partner, but they're not sure what else they can do to save the relationship. The imagery of a storm is used throughout the song to represent the chaos and uncertainty of the relationship. With every strike of lightning comes a painful memory, and as the thunder crashes, the tension between the couple intensifies.
In the final verse, the singer reflects on the importance of having someone who gets you through the storm. They acknowledge that without their partner, their heart is not a home, and they're left standing alone in the rain. It's a deeply emotional moment that encapsulates the song's central theme of lost love and the hope of reconciliation.
