Waking to the day
The outside breaks through my window
I'm drowning in bitterness
Then nothing is all I feel

Lightning struck me down
You caught me out, caught me out
Told the world about it
You're turning into the victim
But I've got to carry on living

Before the thunderstorm
Comes the faint knock on the door

Let me out, we are breaking each other down
I'm falling, let me out
Let me out, we are crumbling into the ground
She's waiting, let me out

You hesitate, are you afraid?
You're despairing, going crazy
It's the guilt thing that's bringing you down
There's not a dry eye in the house

Before the thunderstorm
Comes the faint knock on the door

Let me out, we are breaking each other down
I'm falling, let me out
Let me out, we are crumbling into the ground
She's waiting, let me out

Look down...we're free falling
It's a landslide now

Yesterday I gave you all my spirit
I threw my arms around your world
But on these battered walls the writing's clear
This strange affair is fading out

Moving, moving on
Trying to get a grip but I'm losing it
The pain won't abate but it won't go to waste
An angel will take your place

Before the thunderstorm
Comes the faint knock on the door

Let me out, we are breaking each other down
I'm falling, let me out
Let me out, we are crumbling into the ground
She's waiting, let me out

Let me out, we are breaking each other down
I'm falling, let me out
Let me out, we are crumbling into the ground
She's waiting...
Let me out.
