tears and rain

Singer: james blunt

how i wish i could surrender my soul

shed the clothes that become my skin

see the liar that burns within my needing

how i wish i'd chosen darkness from cold

how i wish i had screamed out loud

instead i've found no meaning

i guess it's time i run far

far away; find comfort in pain

all pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble

hides my true shape

like dorian gray

i've heard what they say

but i'm not here for trouble

it's more than just words: it's just tears and rain

how i wish i could walk through the doors of my mind

hold memory close at hand

help me understand the years

how i wish i could choose between heaven and hell

how i wish i would save my soul

i'm so cold from fear

i guess it's time i run far

far away; find comfort in pain

all pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble

hides my true shape

like dorian gray

i've heard what they say

but i'm not here for trouble

far

far away; find comfort in pain

all pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble

it's more than just words: it's just tears and rain

tears and rain

tears and rain

far

far away; find comfort in pain

all pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble

it's more than just words: it's just tears and rain
