Diesel Motion - But Why Does She Only Cry When It's Raining?

Drip… drop… drip… Storm in her eyes but she hides that painin’… Why does she only cry when it’s rainin’? Bruv I been waitin’… the sky keeps drainin’… Why does she only cry when it’s rainin’? Tears blend in so nobody’s blamin’, Heart so cold but the thunder’s flamin’, Whole life cracked but she keeps reframin’. Shadow on her mind but she moves like ghost, Carried that weight from coast to coast, Never had fam, never had nothin' to toast, Still breaks bread with the ones she holds close. Stormy tempos, feet start shakin’, Pain in her chest got young gyal quakin’, Flew through the block with the world hatin’, Still came back with a soul worth savin’. Masked up truth, she ain’t never complainin’, Deep down hurt but she stays maintainin’, Every time sky goes grey she’s drainin’, Drip… drop… drip… the heavens explainin’. But why does she only cry when it’s rainin’? Why does the storm feel safer than waitin’? Why does she drown her heart in the pavement? Why does she smile like none of it’s breakin’? Why does she only cry when it’s pourin’? Why do her dreams keep sinkin’ and fallin’? Why does the thunder sound like it’s callin’? Why does her soul keep beggin’ for warnin’? She grew up in flats where the sirens scream, Mum on the edge tryna chase her dream, Dad disappeared like smoke in the beam, Left her in the night with a tear and a scheme. Council block rain on the cracked-up sill, Heartbeat runnin’ like a treadmill spill, She learnt how to heal by standin’ still, She learnt how to cry with a force and will. Streetlights flicker, her mind goes numb, Past too loud but she won’t succumb, Every raindrop hits like a war-drum thrum, Still she walks forward, never playin’ dumb. Drip on her cheek, but she blends that fast, Pain in her chest but she hides that cast, Thunder repeats all the truths she’s masked, Rain is the only time she unpacks past. She don’t cry in the sun… She don’t cry in the heat… She waits for the clouds ‘cause that’s where she’s free… Storms speak louder than people she meets… Rain is the only time she breathes… But why does she only cry when it’s rainin’? Why does the storm feel safer than prayin’? Why does her heart keep crackin’ and frayin’? Why does the sky match all she’s conveyin’? Why does she only cry when it’s pourin’? Why do her nights feel bleak and absorbin’? Why does the darkness sound like it’s roarin’? Why does she weep like pain keeps pourin’? Storm in her soul keeps overinflatin’… Maybe the rain’s her way of escapin’… Maybe the sky’s the one place she’s facin’… All of the hurt she’s been silently savin’… Why does she only cry when it’s rainin’?… Maybe the rain’s the only one who’s stayin’…
