[Verse 1]
It wasn't the rain that washed away
Rinsed out the colors of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized
It wasn't the rain that made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly, almost slowly
Plain for all to see
[Chorus]
Oh, come on, please now, talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
[Verse 2]
I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands half a man
I thought no one could break
It wasn't the rain that made no difference
Nervously drumming on, run away
But I want the guilt to get me, thoughts to wreck me
Preying on my mind
[Chorus]
So, please now, talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Please now, talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?
Please now, talk to me
Tell me, tell me what to do (Helpful)
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
[Outro]
I've been losing you, you
I've been losing you, you
I've been losing you
(Run away)
(Run away, oh)
(Run away, yeah)
(Gotta run away, yeah!)
