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

Well, it burned while I cried

'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

But 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

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 you

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 touch your face

Well, it burned while 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, oh

Oh, no

Let it burn, oh-oh-oh

Let it burn

Let it burn
