Ready for the Storm - Lori Lieberman

Ready For The Storm

L. Lieberman

Jet D’Eau Music, BMI

When I look back at the pattern of our lives

How you set me up to fail so many times

I should have listened to my gut, I should’ve learned

But I kept Jumping in the fire, surprised when I got burned

It’s the crazy part in me that wouldn’t see

And if the truth be known, I’m still unraveling

It was poison, it was toxic

It was venom, arsenic

Oh the way I see it

But if I do nothing else in this life

If I screw up this chance to finally get it right

I will only have myself to blame

If I run into a coming train

Forget to leave my raincoat by the door

Cause this time I’ll be ready

This time I’ll be ready for the storm

You were never on my side, were you

You were only out for you, weren’t you

When it fell apart I took the heat

I lost my pride, and everything

And everyone threw rainbows at your feet

Cause I was poison, I was toxic

I was venom, arsenic

Oh and I believed it…

And I’ll remember to remember

I’ll remember to remember

And you won’t ever get the best of me

If you ever think I’m feeling weak and need you

Well I’d rather shoot my foot off than to see you

And I think I finally realize

You’ve never been a friend of mine

So here’s all I’ve got to say- «good-bye»…

And If I do nothing else in this life

If I screw up this chance to finally get it right

Now I see, with friends like these

Who needs enemies

The weatherman can see it and he warns

And next time I’ll be ready

Next time I’ll be ready

This time I’ll be ready for the storm
