When it rains it pours



When it starts to rain
I relive all of the past pain
every single droplet of blood
eventually ends up as a flood
pouring through
and all of this because of you

When it rains it will pour
leave me asking more and more
for why
Should I
care when you don't
and I know improve it won't

When it rains
I watch all of the stains
across my cheek
please don't think I'm weak
it's only when it rains it pours
and then the darkness roars

after it rained there's an empty void
and all will avoid
for when it rains it pours
and the pain it roars
