  • One more time in this game we play
    Sorry that I couldn't make you stay
    Placing pieces on the floor
    Of all the things that we loved before

    Like puddles, in the rain
    Like puddles, we wash away

    Hate me now so I can move on
    Make it easier to see that you're gone
    All the things they're gone too
    Turn and changed into memories

    Like puddles, in the rain
    Like puddles, we wash away

    New York City streets with friends by my side
    Telling stories of those who've left us behind
    All the things we'll never say
    Like puddles in the rain

    Like puddles[x2]
    in the rain

    We wash away[x3]

    Like puddles[x2]
    in the rain

    We wash away[x3] Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Brandie from Jacksonville, AlI disagree with the puddles in the rain comment that Amina posted. Puddles in the rain would make more sense meaning that he is already hurt and thinking about it just adds more pain to his "puddle." He knows that eventually it will all wash away, but as of the moment the "rain" and tears just keep falling
  • Brandie from Jacksonville, AlThis takes place after a breakup. He wishes instead of being friends that she would hate him so he could in turn hate her. It would make moving on a lot easier if his feelings were spat upon.
