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 (This part tells us how they began. She was in a heartbroken state when she met him. His love saved her.)
My hands, they're strong But my knees were far too weak To stand in your arms Without falling to your feet (She fell deeply in love with him.)
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. (But there was trouble in their relationship. He was deceiving and disingenuous)
[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! (The rain signifies her tears or her pain. Setting fire to it means she was fighting in the relationship. She was crying as the fighting hurt him as well)
When I lay with you I could stay there Close my eyes Feel you here forever You and me together Nothing is better (When things were good in the relationship, it was great between them. She felt they were meant for each other)
'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 play You would always win, always win. (Notice the first word changed from "but" to "'cause". It means deception was the reason that she felt great about their love)
[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! (Again, she was fighting and it hurt both of them)
I set fire to the rain And I threw us into the flames Where it felt something die 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time! (It blew up. Their love suffered irrepairable damage. It was over)
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. (After it was over, she still couldn't fully let go)
[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 Where it felt something die 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh, ohhhh!
Oh noooo Let it burn Oh oh ohhhh Let it burn Oh oh ohhhh Let it burn Oh oh ohhhh (She was determined to move on)
