After the Storm

---

I knew the clouds would come,
When I lost track of the sun.
I felt the anger in the sky,
I felt it burning in my eyes.

And God, the rain did fall,
So hard it looked just like a wall.
The thunder shook me to the ground,
Lightning crackled all around.

After the storm,
When I'm all alone,
And there's nowhere left for me to go
I'll dry these eyes,
And look up to the sky,
Where I'll find reasons not to hide,
After the storm.

I can't believe I was so wrong,
I really thought that I belonged.
But I was outside looking in,
Outside standing in the wind.

Clutching hope to shield the pain,
Like an umbrella in the rain,
Made it just to hard to see,
What a fool I learned to be.

After the storm,
When I'm all alone,
And there's nowhere left for me to go,
I'll dry these eyes,
And look up to the sky,
Where I'll find reasons not to hide.
After the storm.

I held on for far too long,
With all this emptiness and pain.
I never saw that purple sky,
Until everything had changed.

After the storm,
When I'm all alone,
And there's nowhere left for me to go,
I'll dry these eyes,
And look up to the sky,
Where I'll find reasons not to hide.
After the storm.
