Set Fire To The Rain
Zedd Lyrics

I let it fall, my heart,
I was vulnerable and opened up my heart to you.

And as it fell, you rose to claim it
You saw my vulnerability and took advantage of it.

It was dark and I was over
I was in a state of despair before I met you.

Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
Your love was able to lift me out of my despair.

My hands, they're strong
I thought I was strong enough to handle a relationship.

But my knees were far too weak
However, my emotions and feelings were too powerful to handle.

To stand in your arms
I couldn't even stand up to the intensity of our relationship.

Without falling to your feet
I was completely under your control and influence.

But there's a side to you
I eventually realized that you had a dark side.

That I never knew, never knew.
I was blind to this aspect of your personality.

All the things you'd say
You lied to me about so many things.

They were never true, never true,
Your words were empty and full of deceit.

And the games you play
You enjoyed playing with my emotions and manipulating me.

You would always win, always win.
You were always in control and had the upper hand.

But I set fire to the rain,
In order to break free from your control, I had to do something drastic.

Watched it pour as I touched your face,
I wanted to destroy everything we had together.

Well, it burned while I cried
Even though it hurt me deeply, I knew it was the right thing to do.

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I was overcome with emotions and memories of you as I watched everything burn.

When I lay with you
Even though I knew the truth about you, I still longed for your embrace.

I could stay there
Being with you felt like paradise, even though it was all a lie.

Close my eyes
I was able to forget about everything else and just be in the moment with you.

Feel you're here forever
I wanted to believe that we could be together forever.

You and me together
I appreciated the moments we shared together, no matter how small or temporary they were.

Nothing gets better
Eventually, I realized that nothing we had was real or meaningful.

And I threw us into the flames
I was willing to destroy everything we had in order to escape your grasp.

Well, it felt something died
It was a painful process, but I knew it was necessary for my own well-being.

'Cause I knew that was the last time
I had to accept that our relationship was over and that I needed to move on.

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
Even though I know it's over, I still find myself hoping that you'll come back to me.

That heart you caught, must be waiting for you
I realize that you never truly cared for me and that I was just another victim of your manipulation.

Even now when we're already over
I still yearn for your love and affection, even though I know it's not healthy.

I can't help myself from looking for you.
I still hope that we can be together again, even though I know it's not possible.

Let it burn
I know that I need to let go of our relationship and move on.

Let it burn
I need to accept the pain of what we had and let it go.

Let it burn
I need to heal from the heartache and let it all go.
