The rain enters softly, through the clouds of gray.
And I with nothing left to give, want only you to stay.
But I know you can't be happy, not "truly happy," as you say.
But I'm afraid I might be too selfish, to let you slip away.
And I swear I have good intentions, though I'm often led astray.
But I know that's not always enough to make it to another day.
I want to say "I love you," but in my mind there's nothing left,
Save fallen tears and a broken heart and an unsaid apology.
The rain enters softly, through the clouds of gray.
It hides away the sunshine, that never used to leave.
I stare into once loving eyes, whose luster begins to fade.
A tear falls and I can't even breathe, as you turn to walk away.
I choke on words that never come, though I desperatly want them to be said.
Though I know no difference they will make, I can't get them out of my head.
I only wish I was good enough, to make you want to stay.
I only wish the sunshine, would break the clouds of gray.
