The Past is not the Present

[im_just_generic]

i'm going to set fire to the rain
watch every tear
burst into flames
burn this city down
so say goodbye to lovers lane

under holy skies
you'd never leave
outside of hell,
i'd be able to breathe
can we drop it?
let it fall
my heart
it would hurt less to stop it.
together we can draw a line
i'll pick your side
if you pick mine
and how the hell
did you walk away from my tears
make me a fool
always meet you at the pier

i'm going to set fire to the rain
watch every tear
burst into flames
burn this city down
so say goodbye to lovers lane

we were kids
baby now i'm grown
your still a child
but i'm ready to raise my own
there's life
there's death
there's the begining
there's the end
there was no getting over you
now the sky is the only thing that's blue
let it bleed
let those veins run dry
you never knew
cause you never tried
walk a mile
in my shoes
my pain is something
you could get used to
keep the rumors going
it'll soon be my turn
i've got secrets baby
that'll make your soul burn
don't underestimate the things i'll do
throw yourself in every open door
i'll give you the key
so you can reap just what you sow

i'm going to set fire to the rain
watch every tear
burst into flame
burn this city down
say goodbye to lovers lane
