[Verse]
She left without a warning like a thief in the night
Tried to keep her smiling but I lost the fight
Jumping through those hoops thinking I'd suffice
But in the end she left me cold as ice
[Verse 2]
Took my heart for granted told me pretty lies
Couldn’t see the storm behind those clear blue skies
Cheated on my love left me in despair
Now I'm picking up the pieces everywhere
[Chorus]
Taken by surprise I'm standing in the rain
Washing off the memories but not the pain
Now I'm rising up from the ashes of our past
Gonna find my way to happiness at last
[Verse 3]
Early morning shadows echo on the wall
All the dreams we painted never stood tall
But through the darkness I can see the light
I'm gonna keep on running till I get it right
[Bridge]
Life can break you down but it can lift you high
Every tear a lesson in the blink of an eye
Strong as thunder fierce as the sea
I'll reclaim my life and set myself free
[Chorus]
Taken by surprise I'm standing in the rain
Washing off the memories but not the pain
Now I'm rising up from the ashes of our past
Gonna find my way to happiness at last
