[Verse 1] I’m a blade of grass beside the road, Bent beneath the feet that come and go. Still growing where nobody sees, With the weight of their footsteps on me. My tears held hope, my tears held love, Now a napkin slowly drinks them up. I watch the water disappear, And wish somebody knew me here. [Pre-Chorus] There’s thunder past the windowpane. I leave my coat and walk into the rain. [Chorus] Let the rain pour on me, Let it fall upon my face. I’ve held these tears so quietly; Tonight, I’ll give them space. When I can’t explain the hurting, When the words won’t leave my mouth, Let the rain pour on me— Let what’s buried inside come out. [Verse 2] Some days I barely feel a thing, Just the hours passing over me. I make my bed; I find my shoes, Carry on with this hidden bruise. There’s an ache that never quite lets go, Underneath the face I show. But something stirs beneath the pain, And brings me to the door again. [Pre-Chorus] The streetlights blur in silver streams. For once, the weather feels like me. [Chorus] Let the rain pour on me, Let it fall upon my face. I’ve held these tears so quietly; Tonight, I’ll give them space. When I can’t explain the hurting, When the words won’t leave my mouth, Let the rain pour on me— Let what’s buried inside come out. [Brief Cello Interlude] [Bridge — almost whispered] I had love I wanted someone to receive. I had hope before it grew so hard to reach. Even now, beneath this silence in my chest, There are words that haven’t found a listener yet. So I stand here with my hands against the cold, And let myself feel all the things I hold. [Final Chorus — emotional, open] Let the rain pour on me, Let it fall upon my face. I’ve held these tears so quietly; Tonight, I’ll give them space. There’s no answer in the water, But my breath comes softer now. Let the rain pour on me— I can let these feelings out. [Outro — piano and fading rain] The rain slows down. I linger on the stair. Still an ache inside me, But a little room for air.
