When you slammed the door, the trembling shook the house 
And I felt the shutter deep down in my heart 
Oh... it knocked me out to know that I've been blind 
'Cause losing you never ever crossed my mind 
And the clock ticked the word 'over' 
I'm lost in gale force ten, but I'm still standing tall 
It could not break me, I just vowed 
I will survive anyhow 
Lost in gale force ten, but you won't see me fall 
And I'll find shelter in the end 
When you are still lost in gale force ten 
(Lost in gale force ten)

Once the door was closed, I told myself: Don't look back 
Drop the bridge, make a fortress of your heart 
Keep your tears inside and save them for the night 
When you'll wait and hope in darkness 'til the morning light 
But that won't take long once the pain is over 

I'm lost in gale force ten, but I'm still standing tall 
It could not break me, I just vowed 
I will survive anyhow 
Lost in gale force ten, but you won't see me fall 
And I'll find shelter in the end 
When you are still lost in gale force ten 
(Lost in gale force ten)

Oh... and I'll find shelter in the end 
When you are still lost in gale force ten 
(Lost in gale force ten)
