The Rain
R.O.T.N. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It isn't love
If you ain't fall at least one time
And you are the one that I wanna come see when the sun down
I'll give you my heart
Don't tear it apart
Can you just promise me
Don't know if forever's forever but
Fuck it I gotta see
It isn't love
If you ain't fall at least one time
And you are the one that I wanna come see when the sun down
I'll give you my heart
Don't tear it apart
Can you just promise me
Don't know if forever's forever but
Fuck it I gotta see
I been on my own
Mindless relations
Then ship em back to where they come from
People that I met where I come from hardened my heart
Knew back at the start
Falling in love can lead to falling apart
Watched my OG drink'em self into oblivion
Tryna forget a love lost told me if Cupid around
Better put gloves on and fight for your sanity
That first cuts the deepest you worried with vanity
Know that scar will not ever heal
I heard the warnings but when I
First saw at my show where I was performing
It felt like no one but your eyes was on me
The feeling alarming
I gotta do something
Curious bout you like
Where is you going
After this sorry I don't do this often
But
The thought of you got my mind swarming with scenes of forever
For better or better so from that day forward
I knew that I'd take you away from the regular
I'll do you better than any other came before me
Don't say that you for me and then switch up on me
The look in your eyes tell me you're here to stay
I got you eternal these feelings won't ever change
It isn't love
If you ain't fall at least one time
And you are the one that I wanna come see when the sun down
I'll give you my heart
Don't tear it apart
Can you just promise me
Don't know if forever's forever but
Fuck it I gotta see
It isn't love
If you ain't fall at least one time
And you are the one that I wanna come see when the sun down
I'll give you my heart
Don't tear it apart
Can you just promise me
Don't know if forever's forever but
Fuck it I gotta see
Putting labels on things makes it harder than it has to be
Cause if we never called this love
Then it wouldn't feel like a catastrophe
Like something constantly after me
Casting a dark cloud
On our beautiful right now
Sooner than later we'll start to hear things bout each other
That we tried to quiet down
Like how I ain't and you ain't built for this
I ain't shit
Who that bitch
Why you hit your ex thought you were over it
Why you be gone on the road and hit
Every thotty that be all on your phone and shit
Why you always wanna sneak diss when you can just
Talk to me
Why you wanna wild out in front of company
Why you always gone late night wanna cancel date night
Why ain't here for me
Why you listening to their stories
Your worries stem from past decisions
Real love don't have conditions
To be honest I feel the passion's missing
Ever since I called you mine you been acting different
Your eyes are distant
The you I once knew ain't here no more
That type of pain can bring tears fasho
It isn't love
If you ain't fall at least one time
And you are the one that I wanna come see when the sun down
I'll give you my heart
Don't tear it apart
Can you just promise me
Don't know if forever's forever but
Fuck it I gotta see
It isn't love
If you ain't fall at least one time
And you are the one that I wanna come see when the sun down
I'll give you my heart
Don't tear it apart
Can you just promise me
Don't know if forever's forever but
Fuck it I gotta see
Fuck it I gotta see,
Is it gonna be you and me?
Fuck it I gotta see,
Is it gonna be you and me?
Fuck it I gotta see,
Is it gonna be you and me?
Fuck it I gotta see,
Is it gonna be you and me?
Forever forever or just for a moment
A love like this special
You find it don't blow it
I'm driving in rain just to get to you
To see if there's something that we can do
To mend all the scars we put on our heart
We can't let mistakes tear us apart




We both played a part
Let's go back to the start
