As a victim of domestic violence it is often hard to describe how I felt during that period of that time of my life. There have been several songs I have found that can describe that for me. | Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain", describes the emotional part of me from beginning to end, and how my relationship evoled over time. This song really resinates with my heart. |
I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark
and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands,
they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your
arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you that I
never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never
true
And the games you play, you would always win, always win
But I
set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn
while I cry
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
When
laying with you
I could stay there, close my eyes
Feel you here,
forever
You and me together, nothing is better
'Cause there's a side
to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were
never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
But I
set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn
while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt
somethin' die, 'cause I knew that
That was the last time, the last
time
Sometimes I wake up by the door
Now that you've gone, must be
waiting for you
Even now when it's already over
I can't help myself from
looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched
your face
Let it burn while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your
name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the
flames
Where I felt somethin' die
'Cause I knew that that was the last
time, the last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let
it burn
