an upbeat, old-school R&B/gospel style song about heartbreak - feeling bad never felt so good!
"Darkened skies don't bother me;
That's how I've come to expect it to be,
But when it rains through sunny skies,
I just can't see it for the tears in my eyes".
lyrics
Sun through the clouds as the raindrops fall,
But they don't seem to be bothered at all.
They just keep falling;
It's the only thing they know how to do.
Yeah, they keep on falling;
This one thing I know, for sure, to be true.
Levees holding, but the waters still rise.
They keep coming though the Sun's in the skies.
They just keep falling;
It's the only thing they know how to do.
Yeah, they keep on falling;
Fall on me, all because of you.
(Let it rain)
Darkened skies don't bother me.
(If it rains)
That's how I've come to expect it to be.
(When it rains)
But when it rains through sunny skies,
I can't see it for the tears in my eyes.
You see me smiling, though you know I'm in pain,
Say there's sun, but I'm knee deep in rain.
It just keeps fallin;
It's the only thing it knows how to do.
Yeah, it keeps falling;
It must know I just can't get over you.
Keep holding back, I try to keep it inside.
Hope it gets better if I just manage to hide,
But it keeps on falling;
It's the only thing it knows how to do.
Yeah, it keeps on falling;
Falls on me; I hope it falls on you too.
CHORUS
Raindrops all around, falling to the ground,
Blocking out the sound, of my teardrops falling down.
BREAK
Sun is shining, somewhere over there,
But rain keeps coming, like it don’t even care.
It just keeps falling;
It’s the only thing it knows how to do.
Yeah, it keeps on falling;
Falls on me, all because of you.
