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 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 cry
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!


When laying 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

Chorus:


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!


I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When I felt, something died

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

Sometimes I wake up by the door

Now that you've gone must be waiting for you
Even now when it's already over
I can't help myself from looking for you


Chorus:


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

I set fire to the rain,

And I threw us into the flames
Where it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, ohhhh!
