Beautiful rain,

Please wash away

Everything that's gone wrong today.

My heart's broken

and I feel guilty to look at her face.

I know it's my fault,

but I love him.

So isn't that his fault too?

Regret is a wave

A taste of salt water

Bitter and burning on my tongue.

You can't change the past

The future isn't set in stone,

but yesterday is.

The rain pours outside

Bouncing off the sidewalk and making puddles

in my driveway.

All I can do is hide

from life, from love, and from pain.

I know I can be

a little naive

But I see the look in her eyes.

Hatred, disappointment,

I can tell she wants me gone.

I'd leave if I could,

but where would I go?

Home is too far away.

And if home's where the heart is,

then I think my home is dead. 

I haven't experienced anything,

but it still feels like everything.

I'm sorry I did what I did.

Forgiveness isn't what I expect.

But I do love him,

and I love you too. 

Don't leave without a goodbye.

If you must, though, 

I ask in your depart,

Don't go in sunshine

or cloudless blue skies.

Do me a favor today, 

and let the rain carry you away
