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 :)

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