"Tears In The Rain" lyrics

I feel like I might be a little bit not myself
I got this side of me that can't be cast out

The cloth I'm cut from is always callin'
How long I've wanted someone else's skin to crawl in
Graced with a gift that I can't say I wanted
Down came the rain, the sound of my solace
When no stars can be found, I'll wish upon a cloud

But don't you cry for me, I've already shed enough
And I will find no peace in watchin' the world go by
I was left behind to rot, but the wrath inside can
Wash away the pain like tears in the rain

I promised to protect you, heart crossed when I made it
As long as I can fix you, I won't have to break it
Every night I'm haunted by the life I lost
A gift that was busted right out of the box
But I paid the price, so dry your eyes

And no one cry for me, I've already shed enough
The devil I don't see is the one always by my side
If I can't replace what broke, then I'll pray that time erodes away the pain
Like tears in the rain

You gave me claws, I can't let go
I have a cause unlike these animals
Take off your mask, I see your soul
No strings attached, give me control

I was once subdued with song
But from now on, all I hear
Are the screams that aren't my own
Become music to my ears
This blessing wasn't sent from above
What's born of agony is stronger than love

So don't you cry for me (Spare me no sorrow)
I've already shed enough (What's done is done)
And now I've found my peace (Wait for tomorrow)
I'm letting it all unwind (That never comes)
I was left behind to rot (The reaper's knockin')
Only wrath inside (What keeps you walkin'?)
No fear of mine remains (Watch it all go up in flames)
Nothin' but tears in the rain

Nothin' but tears in the rain
Nothin' but tears in the rain
