It Will Rain Lyrics
Bruno Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have
We don't have it anymore
There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor (oh)
To keep you by my side
To keep you from walkin' out the door
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
I'll never be your mother's favorite
Uh, your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Sayin', "There goes my little girl
Walkin' with that troublesome guy"
But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Ooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
And pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
Oh, don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye)
Don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye)
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
And there'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
And just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

If you ever leave me, baby
If you decide to leave me
Leave some morphine at my door
Leave some morphine as a symbol of the pain I will be feeling
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
It would take a lot of medication to numb the pain of losing you
To realize what we used to have
To truly understand and appreciate what we had in our relationship
We don't have it anymore
We have lost what we once had
There's no religion that could save me
No religion can truly help me in this situation
No matter how long my knees are on the floor (oh)
No matter how long I pray or how hard I try
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
Remember the sacrifices I am making to keep you in my life
To keep you by my side
To keep you with me
To keep you from walkin' out the door
To prevent you from leaving me
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
The world will feel dark and bleak
If I lose you, baby
If I lose you as my partner
There'll be no clear skies
The skies will be grey and cloudy
Just like the clouds
Just like how clouds represent sadness and gloom
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
I will cry and feel immense sadness if you leave me
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
Everyday will feel like a sad and rainy day
I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your mother will never approve of me
Uh, your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Your father is unhappy with me being in your life
Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
If I were them, I would feel the same way
Sayin', "There goes my little girl
They would say, "there goes my little girl
Walkin' with that troublesome guy"
Walking with me, someone they perceive as troublesome
But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
But their disapproval comes from a lack of understanding
Ooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds
But I will try my best to change their opinions about me
Yeah for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
I'll make an effort to prove myself worthy for you
And pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
I will do everything I can to fix our relationship, even if it hurts me
If that'll make you mine
If that will guarantee our relationship working out
Oh, don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye)
Please don't leave me
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
I will do everything I can to fix our relationship, even if it hurts me
If that'll make it right
If it will fix our relationship and make it work
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
The world will be a dark place
If I lose you, baby
If you leave me
And there'll be no clear skies
It will be a grey and cloudy day
If I lose you, baby
If you decide to leave me
And just like the clouds
Just like how clouds parallel sadness and gloom
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
I will cry and feel immense sadness if you leave me
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
Everyday will feel like a sad and rainy day
