All You Had To Do Was Set Fire To The Rain

1. People like you always want back
The love they gave away
And people like me wanna believe you
When you say you've changed
The more I think about it now
The less I know
All I know is that you drove us
Off the road.

My hands they're strong, but my knees were far too weak
Stand in your arms without fall into your feet
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew
All the things you say that where never, where never true
And the games you play, you always, always win.

[Chorus:]
(Stay) hey
All you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hands
Then why'd you have to go
And lock me out while I let you in?
(Stay) hey
Now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well could have been easy
All you had to do was (stay).

2. Here you are now calling me up
But I don't know what to stay
I've been picking off the pieces
Off the mess you made
People like you always want back
The love they pushed aside
But people like me are gone forever
When you say goodbye.

Cause there's a side to you that I never, never knew
All the things you say that where never true, never true
And the games you play, you would always, always win.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Let me remind you
This was what you wanted
You ended it
You were all I wanted
But not like this
Not like this, not like this.

[Chorus 2:]
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
