I let it fall, my heart, And as it fell, you rose 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, And the games you play You would always win, always win.
[Chorus:] But I set fire to the rain, Watched it pour as I touched your face, Let it burn 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're here forever You and me together 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, And the games you play You would always win, always win.
[Chorus:] But I set fire to the rain, Watched it pour as I touched your face, Let it burn while I cried, 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain And I feel lost into the flames And it felt something dark 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!
Sometimes I wake up by the door, That once you gone, must be waiting for you Even now that we're already over I can't help myself from looking for you.
[Chorus:] I set fire to the rain, Watch it pour as I touch your face, Let it burn when I cried, 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain, And I feel lost into the flames And it felt something like... 'Cause I knew that was the last time The last time, oh, oh!
