Set Fire To The Rain
24.Adele Lyrics

I let it fall, my heart
My heart was down and out, and I just let it go.

And as it fell, you rose to claim it
You came and took my heart as it was falling apart.

It was dark and I was over
Everything was dull and colorless, and I was beyond repair.

Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
Until you kissed me, I didn't know that I could still be saved.

My hands, they're strong
I can handle a lot and have a lot of endurance.

But my knees were far too weak
However, when it comes to you, I lose all of my strength.

To stand in your arms
To be held in your embrace.

Without falling to your feet
Without surrendering completely to you.

But there's a side to you
However, there's another side of you.

That I never knew, never knew
That I was clueless about.

All the things you'd say
Everything you've ever said.

They were never true, never true
Were all just lies.

And the games you play
All the deceitful games you play.

You would always win, always win
You were always in control and somehow always came out on top.

But I set fire to the rain
But then I let my anger out and unleashed my fury.

Watched it pour as I touched your face
As I confronted you about your actions, it was like the rain was expressing my anger for me.

Well, it burned while I cried
As I spoke with you, it was like the fire caused by my anger was scalding me, making me cry.

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
And all the while the rain seemed to be shouting out your name.

When I lay with you
When we were together.

I could stay there
I wanted to remain there forever.

Close my eyes
The only way I could ever truly relax.

Feel you here forever
And have that feeling permeate me permanently.

You and me together, nothing gets better
Because you and me together is the best it can get.

And the games you'd play
But then came your insensitive games.

You would always win, always win
You would always come out on top with your deceitful actions.

But I set fire to the rain
So then I unleashed my fury on you.

Watched it pour as I touched your face
It was like the rain was showing my anger as I confronted you, touching your face.

Well, it burned while I cried
As I spoke to you, the anger inside me boiled and scorched me, making me cry.

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
All the while the rain seemed to be shouting out your name.

I set fire to the rain
I destroyed everything between us.

And I threw us into the flames
And I made sure that we were over for good.

When it fell, something died
And when our relationship ended, it was like something inside me died as well.

'Cause I knew that that was the last time
And I realized that we would never be the same again.

Sometimes I wake up by the door
Now, sometimes I wake up lost and confused.

That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Maybe someone else out there is waiting for you.

Even now, when we're already over
Even though we're done with each other.

I can't help myself from looking for you
I still can't help searching for you everywhere I turn.

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
And all the while the rain seemed to be shouting out your name.

I set fire to the rain
I let my emotions fuel my anger and let everything go.

Watched it pour as I touched your face
As I confronted you, it was like the rain was expressing my anger for me.

Well, it burned while I cried
As I talked to you, the anger inside me boiled and scorched me, making me cry.

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
All the while the rain seemed to be shouting out your name.

I set fire to the rain
I destroyed everything between us.

And I threw us into the flames
And I made sure that we were over for good.

When it fell, something died
And when our relationship ended, it was like something inside me died as well.

'Cause I knew that that was the last time
And I realized that we would never be the same again.

Let it burn
And now I just have to let everything go up in flames.
