Set Fire to the Rain
Adele Lyrics
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
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
Well, it burned 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
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
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was
The last time, the last time
Sometimes 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
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
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time
Oh, oh, no
Let it burn
Oh, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn

Read Full Bio"Set Fire to the Rain" is a song performed by english singer-songwriter Adele, released as the third single from her studio album, 21. The song talks about a relationship coming to an end. Girl meets guy, he is wonderful and she falls really quickly. He tells her all of these amazing things, but really they were all a lie and now she is left with a broken heart. He continually tries to play games with her and no matter hard she fights, she will never win. Nothing she can do will fix the relationship.
As hard as she doesn’t want to let him go, she breaks it off in order to save herself for further heartbreak. The pain of breaking off a relationship with someone who means so much but is two-sided and not good to be with.
The title is an allusion to James Taylor’s Fire and Rain, but Adele approaches the same themes with a thug-feminist perspective.
In the US, the song hit #1, becoming her third consecutive number one from the album. She wouldn’t reach such heights again until her comeback single Hello debuted at number one with a shocking 1.12 million copies sold in one week – the largest ever recorded in the US.
