Verse 1 Straight-line winds blew through Memphis Lightning split the sky Trees came down and lights went out As the storm went rolling by I never dreamed by morning Another storm would come my way No thunder in the distance Just the words you had to say Pre-Chorus Some storms give you a warning Dark clouds rolling in Some come out of nowhere And change everything Chorus It hit me like a lightning bolt Like a straight-line wind At a hundred miles an hour And I’m picking up the pieces again Another love, another ending Another goodbye I didn’t see I thought we were in this forever But it wasn’t meant to be. Verse 2 I thought we had a good thing I thought we had some time I thought the road in front of us Was finally yours and mine We both had miles behind us We both knew where we’d been I thought maybe all those broken roads Finally reached their end Pre-Chorus 2 But hearts can change direction Before the other heart can know And what feels like it came from nowhere May have been a long time letting go Chorus Still it hit me like a lightning bolt Like a straight-line wind A hundred miles an hour And I’m picking up the pieces again Another love, another ending Another goodbye I didn’t see I thought we were in this forever But it wasn’t meant to be Bridge You said you felt unheard sometimes Like there wasn’t room for you You saw your life going one way I saw one life for me and you maybe knowing now is kinder Than finding out years down the road But knowing that don’t make it lighter When I’m the one still holding hope Final Chorus Still it hit me like a lightning bolt Like a straight-line wind A hundred miles an hour And I’m picking up the pieces again Another love, another ending Another goodbye I didn’t see I thought we were in this forever But it wasn’t meant to be Outro So I’ll pick up the pieces And be moving on Looking for clear skies and brighter days Hoping no more storms come But I’ll keep my heart ready If the dark clouds gather again I’ll brace myself for the weather Even if it’s Lightning bolts and straight-line winds
