The Rain

The Rain
Ne-Yo - The Rain (2008) [www.RnB4U.in] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never been good at saying goodbye
But everyday I wake up, and I try
I'm haunted by memory, of things I can't say
They're changing me

Still hurts to let go
But everyday I do
I'm looking for some hope
This cloud will pass through
I'm pressing rewind
I'm searching for when
We have the skies
But it's starting to rain again

You're like a movie
Playing in my mind
I get lost in your laughter
And your smile
But it's just the beginning
Of a winding storyline
That leads to the ending

Still hurts to let go
But everyday I do
I'm looking for some hope
This cloud will pass through
I'm pressing rewind
I'm searching for when
We have the skies
But it's starting to rain again

Starting to rain again
Starting to rain again

Still hurts to let go
But everyday I do
I'm looking for some hope
This cloud will pass through
I'm pressing rewind
I'm searching for when
We have the skies
But it's starting to rain again

Everyday
Everyday

Starting to rain again

Everyday
Everyday

Starting to rain again

Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ne-Yo's song "The Rain" are about a person who is struggling to let go of a relationship that has ended. Despite their efforts to move on and find hope, they are haunted by memories of the past and the things they couldn't say. They are searching for a way to get back to the happiness they once had, represented by the clear skies, but every time they feel they are close, it starts raining again, representing the return of sadness and heartbreak. The person is like a movie playing in their mind, and they get lost in the memories of their ex-partner's laughter and smile, but this only leads to the inevitable ending of the relationship, which they still find hard to accept.


The lyrics show the struggle of trying to move on from someone you loved deeply but couldn't make it work with, and the pain associated with letting go of what used to bring happiness. The metaphor of rain is used to signify the return of sadness when the person tries to overcome the memories of their past relationship.

Woah, ohh
Woah, ohh
Woah, ohh
Woah, hmm
She's staring at me
I'm sitting wondering what she's thinking
Hmm, nobody's talking
'Cause talking just turns into screaming, oh
And now is I'm yelling over her
She yelling over me
All that that means
Is neither of us is listening
(And what's even worse?)
That we don't even remember why we're fighting
So both of us are mad for nothing
Fighting for nothing
Crying for nothing, woah
But we won't let it go for nothing
No not for nothing
This should be nothing
To a love like what we got
Oh, baby, I know sometimes
It's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now?
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
(Can't sleep through the pain)
Girl, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me)
No, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me) oh no, no, no
And it gets me upset
Girl, when you're constantly accusing
(Asking questions like you already know)
We're fighting this war
Baby, when both of us are losing
(This ain't the way that love is supposed to go)
We fall into this place
Where you ain't backing down
And I ain't backing down
So, what the hell do we do now?
It's all for nothing
Fighting for nothing
Crying for nothing, woah
And we won't let it go for nothing
No not for nothing
This should be nothing
To a love like what we got
Oh, baby, I know sometimes
It's gonna rain (it's gonna rain)
But baby, can we make up now
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
(Oh, can't sleep through the pain)
Girl, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me)
No, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me) oh no, no, no
Oh, baby, this love ain't gonna be perfect
(Perfect, oh) Oh no
And just how good it's gonna be?
We can fuss, and we can fight
Long as everything's all right between us
Before we go to sleep
Baby, we're gonna be happy
Ohh, oh, baby, I know sometimes
It's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now?
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
(Can't sleep through the pain)
Girl, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me)
No, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me) oh no, no, no

She's starin' at me,
I'm sittin', wonderin' what she's thinkin'.
Nobody's talkin',
'Cause talkin' just turned into screamin'.
And now is I'm yellin' over her,
She's yellin' over me.
All that that means
Is neither of us is listening,
(And what's even worse)
That we don't even remember why were fighting.

So both of us are mad for

Nothin'
(Fighting for).
Nothin'
(Crying for).
Nothin'
(Whoa).
But we won't let it go for
Nothin'
(No not for)
Nothin'.
This should be nothin' to a love like what we got.
Oh, baby
I know sometimes
It's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
(Cant sleep through the pain)

Girl, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you),
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me).
No, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you),
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me)
Oh, no, no, no

And it gets me upset, girl
When you're constantly accusing.
(Askin' questions like you've already known).
We're fighting this war, baby
When both of us are losing.
(This ain't the way that love is supposed to go).
Whoa,
(What happened to workin' it out)
We've falled into this place
Where you ain't backin' down
And I ain't backin' down.

So what the hell do we do now
It's all for

Nothin'
(Fighting for).
Nothin'
(Crying for).
Nothin'
(Whoa).
But we won't let it go for
Nothin'
(No not for)
Nothin'.
This should be nothin' to a love like what we got.
Oh, baby
I know sometimes
It's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
(Can't sleep through the pain)

Girl, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you),
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me).
No, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you),
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me)
Oh, no, no, no

Oh baby this love ain't gonna be perfect,
(Perfect, perfect, oh oh).
And just how good it's gonna be.
We can fuss and we can fight
Long as everything alright between us
Before we go to sleep.

Baby, we're gonna be happy.

I know sometimes
It's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
(Can't sleep through the pain).

Girl, I don't wanna go to bed

My 12 year old son was recently hit by an out of control car and, unfortunately didn't make it.  I remember him watching this video and it touched him so deeply that the little boy appears to pass away.  It breaks my heart to imagine the unbelievably big heart he had for others and ironically he passed from the same thing.  God have mercy on myself and our family, as this is the most unimaginable tragedy you could ever imagine.  Thank you NEYO for making this video.  <3

@tasertag7513

Sorry man. I'm...well, the human language has no words to describe your pain.
