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 :)

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