You came like thunder through my quiet All bright noise and silver flame I let your words fall all around me Like they meant something to tame But every promise turned to smoke Every touch became the cold And I stood there in the aftermath Losing more than I could hold I burned the rain away for you I lit the sky and called it love Watched the tears run down like glass While you stood nowhere up above And if I break, I break in truth I won’t pretend that I’m okay I burned the rain away for you Now I’m learning how to stay You wore forever like a shelter You wore mercy like a chain I was holding on to daylight While you left me in the rain Now the silence says it better Than the things you never said I can feel your ghost still moving In the rooms you left I burned the rain away for you I lit the sky and called it love Watched the tears run down like glass While you stood nowhere up above And if I break, I break in truth I won’t pretend that I’m okay I burned the rain away for you Now I’m learning how to stay If love was only fire Then let it leave a scar If I was only falling Then I’ve fallen far I burned the rain away for you I lit the sky and called it love Watched the tears run down like glass While you stood nowhere up above And if I break, I break in truth I won’t pretend that I’m okay I burned the rain away for you Now I’m learning how to stay I burned the rain away I burned the rain away
