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 /
While it 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 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 /
While it fell, something died /
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh /
Oh, no /
Let it burn, oh /
Let it burn /
Let it burn /
