Lyrics
When the stroms of life begin to rage
And the strong winds start to blow
A woman needs a shelter somewhere safe that she can go
She needs two arms to gently hold her
Keeping her from harm
I should have been her shelter but I became her storm
I was the one she counted on to shield her from the rain
Instead of giving comfort all I gave to her was pain
When the thunder rolled and the lightnig flashed
The skies began to pour
I should've been her shelter but I became her storm
Chorus:
I should have been her shelter - Her beacon in the night
A calming voice to tell her everything's gonna be alright
Of all the people in this world nobody should've love her more
I should have been her shelter I became her storm
She moved into an interior room inside her broken heart
She closed the window to her soul and stayed there in the dark
Alone and scared no one was there to keep her safe and warm
When I should've been her shelter I became the storm
Bridge:
Her gentle breeze out on the sea soon turned into a gale
It's plain to see that it was me who put that girl through hell
Every hurricane has got a name that goes down in history
And to my shame I am to blame name this one after me.
Chorus
