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