Set Fire To The Rain Lyrics - Let It Burn - Ruthie Foster

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 

'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 is 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. 

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 

Where it felt something die 

'Cause I knew that that 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 

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

I set fire to the rain, 

And I threw us into the flames 

Where it felt something die 

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

Oh no 

Let it burn 

Oh oh oh 

Let it burn 

Oh oh oh 

Let it burn 

Oh oh oh
