Analysis of Tears of Rain
Why are it always rainy days I feel so empty
I think the earth feels my pain too
I overthink everything
The words spitting from your mouth sound untrue
maybe I didn’t look clearly into the rearview
Eventually i'll forgive you
but I’ll always remember that rainy day
and what you put me through.
