I wrote it down, but the ink just bled
On paper soaked from things we never said
The wind carried off the corner page
And I stood still in that pouring cage
Your name was smudged but still alive
A ghost in lines where love survived
Each letter scratched, a silent scream
Waking up from a half-lost dream
Letters in the rain, washing all the pain
Every word I kept just ran away again
Tried to hold the storm
But it slipped through my hands
Now I'm just dancing where we used to stand
Letters in the rain
Falling just like we did
I saw your shoes by the second street light
Same spot we swore we'd never fight
You said the past don't change the now
But it's all I've got to hold me down
I whispered lines like a melody
But they fade out like apologies
The sky won't clear and neither will
The way you made the silence feel
Letters in the rain, washing all the pain
Every word I kept just ran away again
Tried to hold the storm
But it slipped through my hands
Now I'm just dancing
Where we used to stand
Letters in the rain falling just like we did
Maybe someday you'll read the rest
Under the sun, not second-guess
But if you find them torn and stained
Know I meant every word I couldn't explain
Letters in the rain, washing all the pain
Every word I kept just ran away again
Tried to hold the storm
But it slipped through my hands
Now I'm just dancing
Where we used to stand
Letters in the rain
Letters in the rain
