"Set Fire to the Rain" - Adele
This album has made a dramatic impact on me for so many reasons, but this time one of its songs has nothing to do with me. This is dedicated to the people who hurt the ones they should love the most...knowingly. And yet do nothing to correct it. Only admit it.
I stand before you quietly.
As I often do.
The consequences of your actions speak loudly.
Though never loud enough for her to leave you.
How I wish you would leave her.
But your pull is so strong.
Hanging onto something you know you don't deserve.
I have no idea where your luck comes from.
And even though it's quite clear it has yet to run out.
I know it's just a matter of time.
For all your wrongs to strengthen her doubt.
To help her see how you've shattered not only her heart, but also her mind.
If only I could break you;
Your insecurity diminishing her security; tucked away in your comfort zone.
Your hold that locks her so tightly to you.
This is the only thing that keeps you safe from being alone.
If only I could free her from this Hell...
Give her the key you've hidden so well...
Throw you inside your own damn cell...
And trap you instead.
Lyrics:
I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
Cuz I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better
Cuz there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
Cuz I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt something die
Cuz I knew that there was the last time, the last time!
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you.
I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
Cuz I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt something die
Cuz I knew that there was the last time, the last time, oh, oh!
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
