Verse I

Shut the door and yelled at you

In a voice that wasn’t mine

You sat there cryin’ in the car

As we pulled out of the drive

You were right to say those words

I should have listened to

Cause’ if I’d handed over those keys

I’d never have lost you

Chorus

When the rage in the wind

Knocked me down to the ground

When the thunder broke the peace in my heart

When all was said and done

And I realized you were gone

The storm carried on

Verse II

Fought the pain most every day

With a bottle and a gun

Spent my time huddled in the dark

Tryin’ to choose which one

Till’ one night the lightning crashed

And a flame was lit within

Devil got the best of me

As I chose my bitter end

Chorus

When the rage in the wind

Knocked me down to the ground

When the thunder broke the peace in my heart

When all was said and done

And I realized you were gone

The storm carried on

Yeah in the end it was the storm that won
