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

And 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 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

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, I felt something died

Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time

Sometimes I wake up by the door

The heart you caught, must be waiting for you

Even now when we're already over

I can't help myself from looking for you

I set fire to the rain

Watched it pour as I touch 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, I felt something died

Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh

Oh, no

Let it burn, oh

Let it burn, oh

Let it burn...
