Jennifer sings about her mixed feelings with an old friend after she was involved in an accident that killed one of her best friends. She struggles with comforting her friend and blaming her at the same time. “The rain” is her tears she cries for the pain she feels and the anger she feels towards he...
[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
27th of January
Think he died a year ago today
She's crying on my shoulder
And begging me to make the hurting go away
Pretty brown eyes, tears full of guilt
A heart full of pain and fear
I wanna tell her it's okay
But we both know she's the reason he's not here
[Chorus]
I keep on crying
But it doesn't seem to help at all (Seem to help at all)
With every single teardrop, it's like another raindrop falls
And I would (And I would) if I could (If I could)
But the try would be in vain (The try would be in vain)
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain
So I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
If I could, you know I would, but the try would be in vain
So I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
[Verse 2]
Faded picture in a little gold locket
And she never takes it off
I know it's small, but it's heavy 'cause it's filled with guilt
I know and she's why his life is lost
I feel bad for her, but I'm having mixed emotions
'Cause he was a friend of mine
Somewhere in the deepest darkest part of my mind
I wish it was her that died that night, ooh
[Chorus]
I keep on crying
But it doesn't seem to help at all (Seem to help at all)
With every single teardrop, it's like another raindrop falls
And I would (And I would) if I could (If I could)
But the try would be in vain (The try would be in vain)
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain
So I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
If I could, you know I would, but the try would be in vain
So I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
[Bridge]
One rainy Saturday night, a happy anniversary
Celebrating love, champagne all around
They had a little too much to drink
They got in the car, and he could barely stand up
So she figured that she'd drive
Staring at him, I suppose, a sudden jerk of the wheel
And the car flipped about three times, ooh
[Chorus]
I keep on crying
But it doesn't seem to help at all (Seem to help at all)
With every single teardrop, it's like another raindrop falls
And I would (And I would) if I could (If I could)
But the try would be in vain (The try would be in vain)
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain
So I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
If I could, you know I would, but the try would be in vain
So I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
