[Verse] You held me close, but not for long, We both could feel the right had gone. I heard the rain begin to fall, Like time was moving through us all. I did not ask you to remain, I let the ending meet the rain, And for the first time, letting go Felt more like truth than loss could show. [Pre-Chorus] We had our fire, we had our flame, But holding on would end the same. So let it fade, let it flow. [Chorus] Left before the rain Before we turned our love to blame, Before the last good thing could break, I chose the ache I had to take. Left before the rain With every drop, I felt the change, Not free from you, but free enough To stop confusing love with us. Let it fall, let it fade, Left before the rain [Verse] I wanted more than you could give, I wanted reasons just to live Inside a hope that had grown thin, Where every loss was tucked within. We kept returning to the same Old circle dressed in a different frame. I won't pretend we never cared, I only know we weren't repaired. [Pre-Chorus] The rain kept falling through the night, And somehow made the ending right. I chose the truth, I chose to go. [Chorus] Left before the rain Before our silence turned to pain, Before we asked what love was for, I stopped pretending there was more. Left before the rain And though goodbye still cuts me through, I would not trade the truth we found For one more turn of going round. Let it move, let it change, Left Before the Rain [Verse] I still can feel what we once were, The tenderness, the hurt, the blur. I still remember how it felt When both of us were something else. But love was never meant to be A life suspended endlessly. So when the rain came down again, I let the ending have its end. [Bridge] If you reach back, I won't pretend, If you fall back, I won't descend. What we were does not have to die For me to let the future rise. I loved you, and I still say goodbye. The rain keeps moving, so will I, Not asking love to justify. Some endings open what comes next. [Final Chorus] Left before the rain Before resentment learned my heart, Before we tore the truth apart, I let the last embrace depart. Left before the rain And every drop released a thread, Of all the things we should have said, All the nights we tried to save, And every promise we could not brave. Left before the rain I loved you enough to let you go, And let the living waters flow. [Outro] Its not about to erase what we became, But I won't return to feed the flame. The rain moves on, and so do I, With love still there, but no reply. Let it fall, let it fade, Left before the rain
