  • Rain, he wanted it comfortable
    I wanted that pain
    He wanted a bride
    I was making my own name
    Chasing that fame
    He stayed the same
    All of me changed like midnight

    My town was a wasteland
    Full of cages, full of fences
    Pageant queens and big pretenders
    But for some it was paradise

    My boy was a montage
    A slow-motion love potion
    Jumping off things in the ocean
    I broke his heart 'cause he was nice
    He was sunshine, I was midnight

    Rain, he wanted it comfortable
    I wanted that pain
    He wanted a bride
    I was making my own name
    Chasing that fame
    He stayed the same
    All of me changed like midnight

    It came like a postcard
    Picture perfect, shiny family
    Holiday peppermint candy
    But for him it's every day

    So I peered through a window
    A deep portal, time travel
    All the love we unraveled
    And the life I gave away
    'Cause he was sunshine, I was midnight

    Rain, he wanted it comfortable
    I wanted that pain
    He wanted a bride
    I was making my own name
    Chasing that fame
    He stayed the same
    All of me changed like midnight

    Rain, he wanted it comfortable
    I wanted that pain
    He wanted a bride
    I was making my own name
    Chasing that fame
    He stayed the same
    All of me changed like midnight

    I guess sometimes we all get
    Just what we wanted, just what we wanted
    And he never thinks of me
    Except when I'm on TV

    I guess sometimes we all get
    Some kind of haunted, some kind of haunted
    And I never think of him
    Except on midnights like this
