Still Hurts When It Rains

Verse 1]
Rain taps soft on borrowed tin
Like it’s trying not to wake what’s been
I tell myself I’m past those days
But my chest don’t listen when it rains

The streetlight flickers, same old gold
Every memory it can’t let go
I close my eyes, I breathe again
But the past still knows where I’ve been

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve learned how to stand in the sun
But the clouds still know my name

⸻

[Chorus]
It still hurts when it rains
Not loud, not sharp, just deep and plain
Like a scar that don’t complain
It still hurts when it rains

⸻

[Verse 2]
People say time heals it all
Like time ever took the call
Some things fade, some things stay
Some ghosts only walk on rainy days

I don’t cry, I don’t fall apart
Just feel it settle in my heart
Like a weight I’ve learned to carry
Quiet, heavy, ordinary

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need a storm to break
Just a few drops tell the truth

⸻

[Chorus]
It still hurts when it rains
Same old ache, new kind of pain
Like love that never learned to change
It still hurts when it rains

⸻

[Bridge – stripped / intimate]
I’ve forgiven
I’ve let go
But forgiveness don’t mean
You don’t feel it anymore

⸻

[Build – backing vocals low]
(Let it fall…)
(Let it pass…)
(Every drop…)
(Knows the past…)

⸻

[Final Chorus – fuller but restrained]
It still hurts when it rains
Even now, even sane
Some things heal but leave a trace
It still hurts when it rains

⸻

[Outro]
Rain moves on
So do I
Just slower
Some nights
