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 said, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd played, 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 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 said, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd played, 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
Well, it felt 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
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
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew than that was the last time, the last time!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let it burn
