The Rain
Si*Sé Lyrics

I saw you walking in the rain

You were holding hands

And I'll never be the same

Where should I begin? Let's see

You said you needed space

To clear up all the haze

If you've really opened up to me

How can you explain

All this disarray

'Cause I saw you walking in the rain

The truth is always best, you see

I walk away with dignity
It is implied that the singer is making a decision to remove themselves from the situation with grace and self-respect.

While you swim in regret

All that keeps popping in my head

Are some words you said to me in bed

But the love you gave is the love I'll forget

Oh no, I saw you and her walking in the rain
