Rain I walked away from

[Verse 1]
I remember green eyes in fluorescent light,
late shifts turning into sleepless nights,
I’d find any reason just to stay behind—
just to hear you laugh one more time.

Spent everything I had on you,
didn’t think it through, just followed truth,
thought if I gave enough of me
you might finally see what I see.

[Pre-Chorus]
But I was standing in the background noise,
while you were waiting for another voice…

[Chorus]
And I stood in the rain with my jacket on you,
thinking maybe this time you’d see it too,
but I was just a place to stay
‘til he came back and took you away.

I gave you everything I had,
even when it hurt that bad—
but I learned sometimes love don’t choose
the one who never walks away.

[Verse 2]
I remember that night, the empty street,
watching headlights cut through me,
you ran to him like I wasn’t there—
like I was never even anywhere.

You said “thank you,” and I believed
maybe that meant something deep,
but now I know what it really was—
just someone you could lean on.

[Pre-Chorus]
I was always there when you’d fall apart,
but never the one you’d choose to love.

[Chorus]
And I stood in the rain with my jacket on you,
thinking maybe this time you’d see it too,
but I was just a place to stay
‘til he came back and took you away.

I gave you everything I had,
even when it hurt that bad—
but I learned sometimes love don’t choose
the one who never walks away.

[Bridge — stripped, reflective]
I don’t hate you…
I just hate who I was back then,
giving pieces of myself
to someone who wouldn’t hold them.

But I was young,
and I was real,
and I felt everything
I tried to hide and heal.

And maybe that’s not weakness—
maybe that’s just love…

[Final Chorus — stronger]
Yeah, I stood in the rain, but I walked away,
took my heart back piece by piece that day,
and I’m not the same kid you knew—
I finally chose myself over you.

I gave you everything I had,
but I won’t live like that again—
‘cause I learned real love don’t leave you
standing in the rain.

[Outro]
And I’m still standing…
just not waiting anymore
