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 into your arms

Without falling to your feet.

But there's a side to you

That I never knew, I 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!

But there's a side to you

That I never knew, I 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,

Well, I felt something died

Cause I knew that

That was the last time, the last time!

Sometimes I wake up by the door,

And heard you calling, must be waiting for you

Even that 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

Well, I felt something died

Cause I knew that

That was the last time, the last time!

Oh, no,

Let it burn,

Let it burn,

Let it burn!
