Rain

Feels like it rains when I’m unsheltered
Feels like it rains right through me
Feels all dry to everybody else
But it feels like rain to me

(Chorus)
Why did you leave me out in the rain?
Why did you cause me all the pain?
Did you not know I was not prepared?
Did you not know how much I cared?
I do not know what you stood to gain
When you turned away and made it rain
When you turned away and made it rain

They all tell me to forget you
That you are not worth it
The trouble I take to forget you
You don’t deserve it
I tried to push you out my heart
Where lay your memories still
But the trouble ‘bout trying to forget you
Is to know that I never will

(Chorus)

Knew it was too good to be true
You almost convinced me it wasn’t so
Somehow I knew I was always right
And then I saw you turn and go

Your memories are all I have
Of moments you made me feel alive
Those moments now seem far away
But the memories still help me survive
Without them every hour’s a day
A day that stretches into the night
The dark of night never held me but
You’re no longer my dark’s light

(Chorus)

Now the rain comes down hard on me
Harder even than it ever used to
But I’d brave all the rains of the world, baby
If I could have just a day back with you
If I could have just a day back with you
