Sit In the Rain

Sometimes I sit in the rain cos I like how it feels on my face
No one can see my tears in a thunderstorm
And I like how it hides my pain, cos lately
Sometimes I sit in the rain with the hope that they forget my name
No one can see my tears in a thunderstorm
Feeling like this is better this way

Sometimes when I'm feeling low
And what I carry on my back has increased in load
And it's everything for me to just breathe in slow
I just sit in the rain 'til I'm freezing cold
There's something in the way that hits my skin
That soothes all the scars that I keep within
As soon as the sunlight starts to dim and those rain clouds form, I start feeling things
Cos who can make a teardrop out in a storm?
Who can see the fear on my face in the downpour?
The harder it rains, I sit in it more 'til I see my reflection in puddles on the floor
But I love the way it cleanses
It doesn't see me through society's lenses
When I feel the chill, it's a shock to the senses
When I said I go for therapy, actually I meant this

Sometimes I sit in the rain cos I like how it feels on my face
No one can see my tears in a thunderstorm
And I like how it hides my pain, cos lately
Sometimes I sit in the rain with the hope that they forget my name
No one can see my tears in a thunderstorm
Feeling like this is better this way

People like to stare when they pass me
It's like they're too scared to ask me
Why I let the heavens come down and give me a lashing
My mind's on autopilot and I'm terrified of crashing
I'm overheating and iciness helps
And when I'm sitting in the storm, that's when I'll be myself
There might be something wrong with me, it might be my health
But if the sky's looking bleak, then so is everyone else
And that's fine with me, we can all be in it together
Cos there's a mechanism out there for you to get better
With no pressure, whatever it is in life that upsets ya
We all have a way of coping and mine is the weather
I can't tell you why I find this method so calming
To you it's alarming but nobody gets harmed
And there's something 'bout precipitation that I find charming
So I'm disregarding all the pain and the hardship, and

Sometimes I sit in the rain cos I like how it feels on my face
No one can see my tears in a thunderstorm
And I like how it hides my pain, cos lately
Sometimes I sit in the rain with the hope that they forget my name
No one can see my tears in a thunderstorm
Feeling like this is better this way

Cos lately
Sometimes I sit in the rain with the hope that they forget my name
No one can see my tears in a thunderstorm
Feeling like this is better this way
