  3. Set fire to the rain • When I lay with you • I could stay there • Close my eyes • Feel you here forever • You and me together • Nothing gets better • Cause there's a side to you • That I never knew, never knew, • All the things you'd say, • They were never true, never true, • And the games you'd play • You would always win, always win. • [Chorus:] • But I set fire to the rain, • Watched it pour as I touched your face, • Well, it burned while I cried • 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name! • I set fire to the rain • And I threw us into the flames • When it fell, something died • 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time! • I let it fall, my heart, • And as it fell you rose to claim it • It was dark and I was over • Until you kissed my lips and you saved me • My hands, they're strong • But my knees were far too weak, • To stand in your arms • Without falling to your feet • But there's a side to you • That I never knew, never knew. • All the things you'd say • They were never true, never true, • And the games you play • You would always win, always win. • Chorus:] • But I set fire to the rain, • Watched it pour as I touched your face, • Well, it burned while I cried • 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name! • When I lay with you • I could stay there • Close my eyes • Feel you here forever • You and me together • Nothing gets better

  4. Sometimes I wake up by the door, • That heart you caught must be waiting for you • Even now when we're already over • I can't help myself from looking for you. • [Chorus:] • I set fire to the rain, • Watched it pour as I touched your face, • Well, it burned while I cried • 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name • I set fire to the rain, • And I threw us into the flames • When it fell, something died • 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, ohhhh! • Oh noooo • Let it burn, oh • Let it burn • Let it burn

  5. Rumor has it • Owwwwh[repeats]She, she ain't real,She ain'tgonna be able to love you like I will,She is a stranger,You and I have history,Or don't you remember?Sure, she's got it all,But, baby, is that really what you want?Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds,She made a fool out of you,And, boy, she's bringing you down,She made your heart melt,But you're cold to the core,Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore,Rumour has it (rumour) [x8]She is half your age,But I'm guessing that's the reason that you've stayed,I heard you've been missing me,You've been telling people things you shouldn't be,Like when we creep out when she ain't around,Haven't you heard the rumours? (Bless your soul!...) Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds,You made a fool out of me,And, boy, I'm bringing me down,You made my heart melt, yet I'm cold to the core,But rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for,Rumour has it (rumour) [x8]All of these words whispered in my ear,Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear,Just 'cause I said it, it don't mean that I meant it,People say crazy things,Just 'cause I said it, don't mean that I meant it,Just 'cause you heard it,Rumour has it (rumour) [x14]But rumour has it he's the one I'm leaving you for.

  8. Don’t you remember • But I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness, • And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head, • But don't you remember? • Don't you remember? • The reason you loved me before, • Baby, please remember me once more, • Gave you the space so you could breathe, • I kept my distance so you would be free, • And hoped that you'd find the missing piece, • To bring you back to me, • Why don't you remember? • Don't you remember? • The reason you loved me before, • Baby, please remember me once more, • When will I see you again? • When will I see you again? • You left with no goodbye, • Not a single word was said, • No final kiss to seal any sins, • I had no idea of the state we were in, • I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness, • And a wandering eye, and heaviness in my head, • But don't you remember? • Don't you remember? • The reason you loved me before, • Baby, please remember me once more, • When was the last time you thought of me? • Or have you completely erased me from your memory? • I often think about where I went wrong, • The more I do, the less I know,
