Lyrics
[Intro]
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
[Verse 1]
I'm looking in the mirror at this woman, down and out
She's internally dying and knew this was not what love's about
I don't wanna be this woman the second time around
'Cause I'm waking up, screaming, no longer believing
That I'm gonna be around, yeah
[PreChorus]
Over and over, I tried
And over and over, you lied
And over and over, I cried (Over, yeah)
Over and over, I tried
And over and over, you lied
And over and over, I cried, yeah
I don't know why
[Chorus]
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me?
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, can you just
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me?
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, yeah
[Verse 2]
See, I don't wanna hug my pillow late at night no more
I'm tossing and turning, and thinkin' 'bout burning down these walls
I don't wanna fuel this fire no more, no more, no more
See, I've made up my mind, 'cause I've wasted my time
Ain't nothin' here to keep me warm, yeah
[PreChorus]
Over and over, I tried
And over and over, you lied
And over and over, I cried (Over and over, I don't know why)
Over and over, I tried (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And over and over, you lied (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And over and over, I cried, yeah (I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried)
[Chorus]
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me?
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, can you just
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me?
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, yeah
[Bridge]
I'm so tired of the rain (In my life)
And I'm so tired of the strain (And now you're gonna lie)
'Cause sometimes, I can't (Sleep at night, and)
This here, it just (Don't seem right, and)
Sometimes, I just (Wonder why I)
Almost let my life go by
[Bridge]
Sometimes, I can't (Sleep at night, and)
This here, it just (Don't seem right, and)
Sometimes, I just (Wonder why I)
Almost let my life go by
[Chorus]
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me?
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, can you just
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me?
Said, I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, yeah
[Chorus]
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me?
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, can you just
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me?
And I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, yeah
