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 :)

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