Tears in the Rain

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 calling
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 watching 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)
In letting it all unwind (that never comes)
I was left behind to rot (the Reaper's knocking)
Only wrath inside (what keeps you walking?)
No fear of mine remains (watch it all go up in flames)
Nothing but tears in the rain

Nothing but tears in the rain
Nothing but tears in the rain
