Set Fire To The Rain Lyrics Adele

"Set Fire To The Rain"

 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.

[Chorus:]

 But I set fire to the rain,

 Watched it pour as I touched your face,

 Well, it burned while I cried

 'Cause 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 gets better

 'Cause 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.

[Chorus:]

 But I set fire to the rain,

 Watched it pour as I touched your face,

 Well, it burned while I cried

 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

 I set fire to the rain

 And I threw us into the flames

 Well, it felt something died

 'Cause 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.

[Chorus:]

 I set fire to the rain,

 Watched it pour as I touched your face,

 Well, it burned while I cried

 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

 I set fire to the rain,

 And I threw us into the flames

 Well, it felt something died

 'Cause I knew that there was the last time, the last time, oh, oh!

 Let it burn

 Let it burn

 Let it burn
