  • Mmm
    Mmm
    Mmm

    I'm lookin' in the mirror
    At this woman down and out
    She's internally dyin'
    I knew this was not what love's about

    I don't wanna be this woman
    The second time around
    'Cause I'm wakin' up screamin', no longer believin'
    That I'm gonna be around

    And over and over I tried (you know)
    Yet over and over you lied
    Gettin' over and over my pride (oh my, yeah)

    Over and over I tried (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    And over and over you lied (you lied)
    Gettin' over and over my pride, yeah
    I don't know why, ooh

    Rain on me
    Lord, won't you take this pain from me
    I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
    'Til you just rain on me
    Lord, won't you take this pain from me
    I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, babe

    See, I don't want to hug my pillow late at night no more
    I'm tossin' and turnin' and thinkin' 'bout burnin' down these walls
    I don't wanna fuel this fire no more, no more, no more
    See, I made up my mind 'cause I've wasted my time
    Ain't nothin' here to keep me warm, yeah

    Over and over I tried (you know)
    Yet over and over you lied (oh yeah)
    Gettin' over and over my pride (over and over)
    know why

    over and over I tried (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    And over and over you lied (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Gettin' over and over my pride, yeah
    I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried

    Oh

    Rain on me
    Lord, won't you take this pain from me
    I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
    'Til you just rain on me
    Lord, won't you take this pain from me
    I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, babe

    I'm so tired of the rain
    In my life
    And I'm so tired of the strain
    And now you're gonna lie, 'cause

    Sometimes I can't sleep at night and
    This here it just don't seem right and
    Sometimes I just wonder why I
    Almost let my life go by

    Sometimes I can't sleep at night and
    This here it just don't seem right and
    Sometimes I just wonder why I
    Almost let my life go by

    Oh

    Rain on me
    Lord, won't you take this pain from me
    I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
    'Til you just rain on me
    Lord, won't you take this pain from me
    I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, babe

    Rain on me
    Lord, won't you take this pain from me
    I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
    'Til you just rain on me
    Lord, won't you take this pain from me
    And I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, babe

    Ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la
    La-la-la
    La-la-la-la-la-la
