[Intro – Acoustic guitar only] [Verse 1 – acoustic + vocal only] It was colder than it should’ve been For the middle of that year You were standing in the streetlight Like you didn’t belong here You said “don’t come any closer” But you were already hurt I saw blood in the water I saw heaven in the dirt [Pre-Chorus – clean electric swells enter] You smiled like you were already gone But you stayed [Chorus – still restrained, no full drums] It was everything but the rain When I found you that night The sky was holding its breath Like it knew you’d say goodbye It was everything but the rain When I reached for your hand That was the moment my life Fell out of the plan [Verse 2 – acoustic + light electric] You said “this world isn’t kind to me” Like you already knew Said “some battles choose their soldiers Before they ever choose you” You laughed like it didn’t matter But your eyes said it all You were standing in the open Like you were ready to fall [Pre-Chorus – building more] You told me not to follow But I did [Chorus – bigger, still not full power] It was everything but the rain When I found you that night The sky was holding its breath Like it knew you’d say goodbye It was everything but the rain When I reached for your hand That was the moment my life Fell out of the plan [Bridge – drop to acoustic + voice only] If I could change where this began If I could make you stay You said “if you stay, you’ll lose everything” I said “I already did” [Guitar Solo – emotional electric, drums build in] (Long, crying, melodic solo — band slowly builds) [FINAL CHORUS – FULL BAND, MAX EMOTION] It was everything but the rain When I watched you fade out I would’ve burned down the world If I’d known what I know now It was everything but the rain When I learned the truth That love is how the curse begins And how it follows you [Outro – drop back to acoustic / clean guitar] And that was the night I stopped being who I was.
