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 fallin'
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
screamin' 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 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
screamin' out your name
your name
I set fire
to the rain
and I threw us
into the flames
When it fell
somethin' 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 waitin' for ya
Even now when we're
already over
I can't help myself
from lookin' for ya
I set fire
to the rain
Watched it pour as I
touched your face
Well it burned
while I cried
'cause I heard it
screamin' out your name
your name
I set fire
to the rain
and I threw us
into the flames
When it fell
somethin' died
'cause I knew that
that was the last time
The last time
Oh oh no
Let it burn
Oh-oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
