I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell, you rose to claim it.
It was dark and I was over,
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me.
My hands they were strong, but my knees were far too weak,
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet,
But there's a side, to you, that I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win.
(Chorus)
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried,
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
When I lay, with you, I could stay there,
Close my eyes, feel you here forever,
You and me together, nothing is better!
Cause there's a side, to you, that I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win.
(Chorus)
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried,
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died,
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for ya...
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for ya.
Chorus:
I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried,
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died,
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!
