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

 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 play, you would always win, always win

 But I set fire to the rain
 Watched it pour as I touched your face
 Let it burn 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 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
 Let it burn 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
 And I felt somethin' die, 'cause I knew that
 That was the last time, the last time

 Sometimes I wake up by the door
 Now that you've gone, must be waiting for you
 Even now when it's 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
 Let it burn 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
 And I felt somethin' die
 '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
