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
Lies in 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 a door was 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

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 alright
As she races through the night, to make it home

And the door it slams 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
