Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
It's the calm before the storm
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
I've been broken, but I'm not gone.

Woke up this morning with the weight of the world
Another bad day before it even begins
The bills keep coming, and the phone won't stop ringing
And I'm wondering how much more I can give.

One thing goes wrong, then another comes crashing
Like dominoes falling inside of my head
I'm trying to breathe, but the walls keep closing
And there's a thousand things I wish I'd never said.

Everybody says that things will get better
But nobody knows what it's like in my shoes
I'm holding on to the end of a rope
With nothing left that I can afford to lose.

And I can feel the thunder rolling
Even when the skies are blue
I know another storm is coming
But I've got something left to prove

It's the calm before the storm!

When everything comes crashing down
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
But nobody hears a sound.

When the rain begins to fall

And I'm standing all alone
I'll fight through every fucking nightmare
Till I find my way back home.

I may bend, but I won't break
I've survived every mistake
And when the thunder starts to roar
I'll be stronger than before!

It's the calm before the storm
But I won't run anymore.

Some days I feel like I'm losing the battle
Trying to fix what I didn't destroy
Picking up pieces of somebody's problems
While the world keeps drowning out my voice.

I've lost some friends, and I've lost some chances
Watched people leave when I needed them most
I've given my heart to the wrong situations
And held on too long to the ghosts.

But every scar is a story worth telling
Every tear is a lesson I've learned
You can throw me into the fire
But that doesn't mean I'll burn.

And I can hear the thunder calling
I can see the lightning strike
But I refuse to let the darkness
Take away another night.

It's the calm before the storm!
When everything comes crashing down
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
But nobody hears a sound.

When the rain begins to fall
And I'm standing all alone
I'll fight through every fucking nightmare
Till I find my way back home.

I may bend, but I won't break
I've survived every mistake
And when the thunder starts to roar
I'll be stronger than before!

It's the calm before the storm
But I won't run anymore.

Maybe tomorrow won't be perfect
Maybe the pain won't disappear
Maybe I'll wake up feeling broken
With another thousand things to fear.

But I don't have to fix it all tonight
I don't have to carry every stone
Sometimes surviving through the darkness
Is enough to prove how far I've grown.

So let the rain fall!
Let the winds blow!
I've been through hell
And I've still got hope!

Let the world shake!
Let the skies fall!
I've made it this far
I can face it all!

It's the calm before the storm!
And everything is crashing down!

But this time when I scream
I know I'll hear my own sound!

When the rain begins to fall
I won't face it like before
I've learned to stand up in the darkness
And find the strength to fight some more!

I may bend, but I won't break!
There's only so much life can take!
But every time I hit the floor
I find a reason to get up once more!

It's the calm before the storm
And I'm not afraid anymore!

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Let the thunder roll

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

There's still a fire in my soul

And when the clouds begin to clear
I'll still be standing here

It's the calm before the storm

And I'm still here
