Some men do it 'cause it pays the bills
Others want to save the world
Me myself, I never was a hero though

Joined the force like my daddy did
Figured I'd marry young
But the things I've seen made me take a different road.


'Til you've been in the dark you might never feel it,
'Til you've been in the dark you might think you're guaranteed,

But your life can leave, with a spark.

The rain falls on the blessed ones and the damned.


Met my girl about a year ago
Knew that I'd found a home

Laughed so much I felt like a kid again
Since that day it's hard to do the job
It's hard to know what I've known

So much pain, and so few innocent.

'Til you've been in the dark you might never question,

'Til you've been in the dark you might think you're quarantined,
Yeah, but nothing's free
And your love can leave,

In the dark.

The rain falls on the blessed ones

The rain falls on the damned
And you've changed my mind
I love you more,

Than I love myself
And I'm scared to death
That you love me less.
