[Intro]
There's a black cloud over this house
That's been around for three years now
There's a thunderstorm inside
And it won't go away
No, it won't go away
That's why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union

[Verse 1]
I remember him turning around
He said, "Son, I'll be leaving now
I can't be the person that you want me to be"
And then she said, "Some things are finally ending now
Yeah, I knew you'd be walking out
You can't be the person that you want me to be
Want me to be

[Pre-Chorus]
Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all this silence
Has been enough to last me a lifetime
Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all this pain
[Chorus]
That's why they called it a union
That's why they called it a union
So both of you please forgive me tonight
That's why they call it a union
So please forgive me tonight

[Verse 2]
I remember him turning around
He said, "Son, I'll be leaving now
You can't be the person that I want you to be
Want you to be

[Pre-Chorus]
Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all this silence
Has been enough to last me a lifetime
Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all these pain

[Chorus]
That's why they called it a union
That's why they called it a union
So both of you please forgive me tonight
That's why they call it a union
So please forgive me tonight
[Post-Chorus]
I can't look at the pictures anymore
Because I know how it's run it's course
And I know how the story ends
I know it ends

[Bridge]
There's a black cloud over this house
That's been around for three years now
There's a thunderstorm inside
There's another fight tonight
There's a black cloud over this house
That's been around for three years now
There's a thunderstorm tonight
And it won't go away
No, it won't go away

[Chorus]
That's why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union
So both of you please forgive me tonight
That's why they call it a union
So please forgive me tonight
So please forgive me tonight
So please forgive me, goodnight
