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,
To stand in your arms
I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
Without falling to your feet
It was dark and I was over
My hands, they're strong
 
All the things you'd say
That I never knew, never knew.
You would always win, always win.
But there's a side to you
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
 
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
 
I could stay there
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Close my eyes
Nothing is better
When I lay with you
 
And the games you play
They were never true, never true,
That I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
You would always win, always win.
'Cause there's a side to you
 
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name,
But I set fire to the rain,
your name!
Well, it burned while I cried
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
 
the last time!
Where it felt something die
And I threw us into the flames
'Cause I knew that that was the last time,
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
 
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name,
I set fire to the rain,
Well, it burned while I cried
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
your name
 
'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, ohhhh!
Where it felt something die
 
Let it burn
Oh noooo
Let it burn
Let it burn, oh
