The Storm

Garth Brooks

She sits among the pieces 
Of broken glass and photographs
Reluctantly releases the last 
Of what was her past
It struck without a warning 
Or did she just ignore the signs
In those dark clouds forming behind 
Her silver lines

And the door it slammed like thunder 
And the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings from her family 
Whirl like a hurricane
Oh, she's drowning in emotions 
And she cannot reach the shore
She's alive 
But can she survive the storm

A broken jewel box dancer 
Lots of pieces down the hall
She's finding out the answers 
Don't change nothing at all
It's time that she stopped searching 
For who's to blame or what went wrong
The only thing for certain is he's gone
She's gotta move on

Then the door it slammed like thunder 
And the tears they fall like rain
And the warnings from her family 
Whirl like a hurricane
Oh, she's drowning in emotions 
And she cannot reach the shore
She's alive 
But can she survive the storm

Oh, oh, oh

Someday days just roll on by 
Without a gray cloud in the sky
She keeps telling herself, "I will make it on my own"
And her friends they've all gone back to their lives
Thinking she will be all right
As she races through the night to make it home

Then the door it slammed like thunder 
And the tears they fall like rain
And the warnings from her family 
Whirl like a hurricane
Oh, she's drowning in emotions 
And she cannot reach the shore
She's alive 
But can she survive 
The storm

She sits among the pieces 
Of broken glass and photographs
Reluctantly releases the last 
Of what was her past
