James Blunt - Tears And Rain lyrics

How I wish I could surrender my soul;

Shed the clothes

that become my skin;

See the liar that burns within my needing.

How I wish I'd chosen

darkness from cold.

How I wish I had screamed out loud,

Instead I've found no meaning.

I guess it's time I run far, far away;

find comfort in pain,

All pleasure's the same:

it just keeps me from trouble.

Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.

I've heard what they say,

but I'm not here for trouble.

It's more than just words:

it's just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk

through the doors of my mind;

Hold memory close at hand,

Help me understand the years.

How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.

How I wish I would save my soul.

I'm so cold from fear.

I guess it's time I run far, far away;

find comfort in pain,

All pleasure's the same:

it just keeps me from trouble.

Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.

I've heard what they say,

but I'm not here for trouble.

Far, far away; find comfort in pain.

All pleasure's the same:

it just keeps me from trouble.

It's more than just words:

it's just tears and rain.
