Set Fire to the Rain by Adele

Lyrics of Set Fire to the Rain by Adele

verse

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 were strong

But my knees were far too weak

To stand in your arms

Without falling to your feet

pre-chorus

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'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 screamin' out your name

Your name

verse

When I lay with you

I could stay there, close my eyes

Feel you here forever

You and me together, nothing is better

pre-chorus

'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 screamin' out your name

Your name

chorus

I set fire to the rain

And I threw us into the flames

When we fell, something died

'Cause I knew that that was the last time

The last time

bridge

Sometimes, I wake up by the door

That heart you caught must be waiting for ya

Even now when we're already over

I can't help myself from looking for ya

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 screamin' out your name

Your name

chorus

I set fire to the rain

And I threw us into the flames

When we fell, something died

'Cause I knew that that was the last time

The last time, oh

outro

Oh, no

Let it burn, oh

Let it burn

Let it burn
