1. 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're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
Bridge: 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
Chorus: 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
2. When I lay with you
I could stay there, close my eyes
Feel you here, forever
You and me together, nothing is better
Bridge: '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
Chorus: 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 the, that was the last time, the last time
Bridge: Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now that we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
Chorus: 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, ooooooh
Oh, no...
Let it burn, ooooooh
Let it burn...
Let it burn...
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're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
Bridge: 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
