It wasn't the rain that washed away Rinsed out the colors of your eyes Putting the gun down on the bedside table I must have realized It wasn't the rain that made no difference And I could have sworn it wasn't me Yet I did it all so coldly almost slowly Plain for all to see Oh c'mon please now talk to me Tell me, things I could find helpful How can I stop now? Is there nothing I can do? I have lost my way, I've been losing you I can still hear our screams competing You're hissing your s's like a snake Now in the mirror stands half a man I thought no one could break It wasn't the rain that made no difference Nervously drumming on run away But I want the guilt to get me Thoughts to wreck me, preying on my mind So, please now talk to me Tell me, things I could find helpful How can I stop now? Is there nothing I can do? I have lost my way, I've been losing you Please now talk to me Tell me, things I could find helpful How can I stop now? Is there nothing I can do? Please now talk to me Tell me, tell me what to do helpful How can I stop now? Is there nothing I can do? I have lost my way, I've been losing you, you I've been losing you, you I've been losing you That's right Gotta run away from you
