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 were 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'd play

You would always win, always win



But I set fire to the rain

Watched it pour as I touched your face

When it burned well I cried

'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 gets 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

When it burned well 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

When we fell something died

'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 ya

Even now when we're already over

I can't help myself from looking for ya



I set fire to the rain

Watched it pour as I touched your face

When it burned well 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

When we fell something died

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



Let it burn …
