You said you would burn the city down You said you would do it for me So I burned it to the ground This city has burned before you see All this rain won't stop it from burning But at least it hides my streaming tears I would never let you start a fire You would let it spin out of control Then blame her, the other one you desire For eating out your soul All this rain won't stop it from burning But at least it hides her deepest fears And all this rain won't stop her from yearning But at least she can show how much she cares All this rain won't stop it from burning But at least it reveals your constant affairs And all this rain won't stop me from learning At last after seven too long years
