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’re 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
All the games you’d play, you would always win, always win
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 laying with you I could stay there
Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me, nothing gets 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
All the games you’d play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it burn 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 like something died
‘Cause I knew that was the last time, the last time…
