[Verse one]
Tried to take the high road, you couldn't see it my way
Got my thoughts on overload, a heavy price to pay
Thought we'd be together to the very end
That sweet smile faded away, you had a message to send
[Chorus]
It hit me like a shockwave
Hit me like a shockwave
[Verse two]
Took off the gloves and knuckled down, what more could I say
Bare-fisted words spun me around, you went your own way
Off my feet and on my knees, asking baby why
You don't care if I'm cut and bleed, it's your final goodby
[Chorus]
You hit me like a shockwave
Hit me like a shockwave
[Verse three]
Lord have mercy didn't see it coming, don't know which way to turn
Broke my stride and sent my running away from the burn
Toss and turn and roll in bed all night and keep me up all day
Looking for some meaning to my life since you've gone away
[Chorus]
You hit me like a shockwave
Hit me like a shockwave
You hit me like a shockwave
Hit me like a shockwave
[Outro]
Shockwave (repeat)
