Rain I walked away from

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.

But I was standing in the background noise,

while you were waiting for another voice…

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.

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.

I was always there when you’d fall apart,

but never the one you’d choose to love.

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.

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…

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.

And I’m still standing…

just not waiting anymore
