    This song describes how I fell in love with my soon to be ex-husband... and it also describes the shock at finding out who he and the WTBTS really are.... Heartbreak, even with ensuing happiness, is hard to overcome. To all those that are going through heartbreak and despair, SET FIRE TO THE RAIN and be free! I dare it to be possible....

    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'd play, you would always win, always win

    But I set fire to the rain
    Watched it pour as I touched your face
    Let it burn while I cry
    'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

    When laying with you
    I could stay there, close my eyes
    Feel you here, forever
    You and me together, nothing is 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

    But I set fire to the rain
    Watched it pour as I touched your face
    Let it burn 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 I felt something die, 'cause I knew that
    That was the last time, the last time

    Sometimes I wake up by the door
    As if that heart you caught is still waiting for you
    Even now when it's already over
    I can't help myself from looking for you

    I set fire to the rain
    Watched it pour as I touched your face
    Let it burn 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 I felt something die
    'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh

    Oh, no
    Let it burn, oh
    Let it burn
    Let it burn

    Sincerely, I offer you my sympathy as you work through your grief.

    Tongue-in-cheek, I hope all inflammables are out of your reach.

    Girl, I feel your pain. Adele songs tend to bring up memories of my ex husband, too.

    When will this torture be done running its course through my system?

    Let it burn!

    I really like the Someone Like You song. I listen to it a lot.

    Adele has struck a chord that so very few have done in recent years. She could sing the words from a kellog's cereal pack and make it sound heartfelt. Her voice is so resonant with assured but controlled emotion.I must admit, though, that the image of 'setting fire to the rain' doesn't work for me : How do you burn water? Even so, that song gets me every time.
