You call me when the evening breaks, I know the silence before you speak. You tell me who has let you down, I swallow what you mean to me. You say, “I knew you’d understand.” I do—that’s what makes this worse. I keep my voice from giving out, Then walk home drowning in the words. You say goodnight. I hear goodbye. The rain comes down— I don’t go inside. [Chorus] I’m close enough to hurt, Too far to be the one. You tell me I deserve a love You know you’ll never become. So let the rain come down— It can’t wash out the truth. You reach for me when you’re breaking, I break reaching for you. Your name lights up the room again, I let it ring, then give in. We talk until the morning comes; I almost tell you everything. But you’ve been clear. I know the line. I’m the one who keeps it blurred. You never promised me your heart— I kept hearing more in every word. No hidden sign. No change of mind. Just one more night I leave myself behind. I’m close enough to hurt, Too far to be the one. You tell me I deserve a love You know you’ll never become. So let the rain come down— It can’t wash out the truth. You reach for me when you’re breaking, I break reaching for you. YOU DON’T OWE ME LOVE! I KNOW! I KNOW! THEN WHY CAN’T I LET GO? I can’t keep answering And calling this enough. I can’t keep standing here Confusing hope with love. LET— ME— LET— I’m close enough to hurt, Too far to be the one. You tell me I deserve a love You know you’ll never become. So let the rain come down— Tonight I face the truth. I have to stop reaching Without learning to hate you. Your name lights up. I let it fade. For once, I leave Before the rain.
