Lyrics Tears and Rain - James Blunt

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)
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
Tears and Rain
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
