Verse 1I 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

BridgeBut 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

Hook 1But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cry
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

Verse 2When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better

Bridge
Hook 1
Hook 2I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt something die
Cause I knew that there was the last time, the last time!

Verse 3Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you

Hook 1 + 2
OutroOh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
