Bruno Mars
It Will Rain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you wanna leave me baby
Leave some morphine at my door
Cuz it would take a whole lot of medication
To realise what we used to have it
But we don't have it anymore
There's no religion that could save me
No matter how my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices i'm making
To keep you by my sideand keep you from walking out the door

Cuz 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 would do the same
If you walk away, every day will rain, rain, rain

I'll never be your mothers favourite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
if i was in their shoes id be doing the same thing
Say there goes my little girl
Walking with that troublesome guy
But that's just the part of something they can't understand
But little darling watch me change their minds
Yeah for you, i'll try, i'll try, i'll try, i'll try

I'll pick up these broken pieces till i'm bleeding if that'll make it right
Cuz 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 would do the same
If you walk away, everything will rain, rain, rain

Don't you say, goodbye
Don't you say, goodbye

I'll pick up these broken pieces till i'm bleeding if that'll make it right
Cuz 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 pass, i would do the same
If you walk away, everything will rain, rain, rain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars is a song about the difficulties of losing a relationship and the lengths one would go to keep it together. The song's chorus emphasizes the struggle of losing someone and the darkness that would ensue without them. The first verse of the song talks about the realization that life without the other person would be unbearable to the point that medication would not be enough to numb the pain. The next few lines show the desperation of the singer and how he would sacrifice everything to keep his partner from leaving, even though it is beyond his control. The second verse describes the societal perception that the singer is not good enough for his partner and his efforts to change their minds. The desperation in his voice to keep the relationship together builds throughout the song, as he pleads for his partner not to say goodbye.


The song's interpretation goes beyond a typical love story; it delves deep into the human psyche, highlighting that the fear of abandonment can lead to people going to extreme lengths to maintain their relationships. When we lose something we cherish and love deeply, it often feels as if the sun goes down and every day is overshadowed by dark clouds of sadness. The song conveys a sense of helplessness that any relationship can end, no matter how hard one tries to keep it from breaking.


Line by Line Meaning

If you wanna leave me baby
If you're going to end this relationship, you better leave behind some painkillers for me to take to numb the pain


Cuz it would take a whole lot of medication
The heartache of losing you would be unbearable, so much to the point that it would take a significant amount of medication to try and cope


To realise what we used to have it
The full realization of what we had together would only come once you were gone


But we don't have it anymore
Sadly, what we shared before is no longer a part of our present reality


There's no religion that could save me
No amount of prayer or devotion could ease the pain of losing you


No matter how my knees are on the floor
Even if I get on my hands and knees to beg, it won't change your mind if you want to leave


So keep in mind all the sacrifices i'm making
I want you to remember all that I do for you to keep you here with me


To keep you by my side
I'm doing everything in my power to make sure you don't leave me


and keep you from walking out the door
I don't want you to leave me, ever


Cuz there'll be no sunlight, if i lose you baby
Without you, my life would seem darker, gloomier, and without hope


There'll be no clear skies, if i lose you baby
My life would always seem cloudy and depressing if you were gone from it


Just like the clouds my eyes would do the same
My tears would fall and blur my vision, just like the clouds block out the sun


If you walk away, every day will rain, rain, rain
My life will forever feel like it's raining, that it's never sunny without you


I'll never be your mothers favourite
Your mother doesn't like me, and I'll never be a favorite of hers


Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Your father doesn't approve of me and feels like he can't even look me in the eye


if i was in their shoes id be doing the same thing
If I were them, I would feel the same way about myself, and probably not approve either


Say there goes my little girl
They see their daughter growing up and making her own choices, which is difficult for them to accept


Walking with that troublesome guy
They see me as trouble, an obstacle to their daughter's happiness


But that's just the part of something they can't understand
They can't comprehend the love that we have and the connection that we share


But little darling watch me change their minds
I am confident that, given time, I can win them over and show them that I am worthy of their daughter's love


Yeah for you, i'll try, i'll try, i'll try, i'll try
I'm willing to do whatever it takes, try as many times as necessary, to earn their respect and love


Don't you say, goodbye
Please don't leave me, don't say goodbye


I'll pick up these broken pieces till i'm bleeding if that'll make it right
I'll do everything in my power, even if it hurts and causes me pain, to try and make things right


Just like the clouds pass, i would do the same
Just as the clouds eventually move on and clear up, I too would eventually heal and move forward if you left me


If you walk away, everything will rain, rain, rain
My heart would feel like a never-ending storm if you chose to leave me

If you ever leave me, baby
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)
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
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
