Set fire to the rain -live concert

The song is talking about a relationship coming to an end; the heart-ripping pain of breaking off. 

Adele told Q magazine that the title came to her, "in the middle of the night when I got up for a wee…". Not very romantic, but that's life :)

But my knees were far too weak,
Without falling to your feet
My hands, they're strong
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
It was dark and I was over
I let it fall, my heart,
To stand in your arms
And as it fell you rose to claim it
 
You would always win, always win.
And the games you play
All the things you'd say
That I never knew, never knew.
But there's a side to you
They were never true, never true,
 
Well, it burned while I cried
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
But I set fire to the rain,
your name!
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name,
 
When I lay with you
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Close my eyes
Nothing is better
I could stay there
 
You would always win, always win.
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
That I never knew, never knew,
'Cause there's a side to you
All the things you'd say,
 
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name,
your name!
But I set fire to the rain,
Well, it burned while I cried
 
And I threw us into the flames
the last time!
'Cause I knew that that was the last time,
I set fire to the rain
Where it felt something die
 
That heart you caught must be waiting for ya
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
I can't help myself from looking for ya.
Even now when we're already over
 
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name,
your name
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
I set fire to the rain,
 
And I threw us into the flames
'Cause I knew that that was the last time,
the last time, ohhhh!
Where it felt something die
I set fire to the rain,
 
Let it burn, oh
Oh noooo
Let it burn
Let it burn
