Tears and Rain

How I wish I could surrender my soul Shed the clothes that become my skin See the liar that burns within my needing How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold How I wish I had screamed out loud Instead I've found no meaning I guess it's time I run far, far away, find comfort in pain All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble It's more than just words, it's just tears and rain How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind Hold memory close at hand Help me understand the years How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell How I wish I would save my soul I'm so cold from fear I guess it's time I run far, far away, find comfort in pain All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble Far, far away, find comfort in pain All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble It's more than just words, it's just tears and rain Oh Tears and rain Oh Tears and rain Far, far away, find comfort in pain All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble It's more than just words It's just tears and rain --- Tears and Rain - James Blunt
