set fire to the rain

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 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

were never true

never true

all the games you play

you'd always win

always win

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

out your name

when i lay with you

i could stay there

close my eyes

feel you 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

were never true

never true

all the games you'd play

you would always win

always win

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

out your name

sometimes i wake up by the door

that heart you caught must be waiting for you

and 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 touched your face

well

it burned while i cried

'cause i heard it screaming out your name

out your name

let it burn

oh

let it burn

let it burn

oh-oh

let it burn

i set fire to the rain

and i threw us into the flames

oh

where it fells

something died

'cause i knew that that was the last time

the last time
