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 play,

you would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain

Watched it pour as I touched your face

Let it burn while I cry

'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

Let it burn 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

Where I felt somethin' die, '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 you

Even now when it's already over

I can't help myself from looking for you

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 threw us into the flames

Where I felt somethin' die

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

Oh, no

Let it burn, oh

Let it burn

Let it burn
