Why do some do what they do.
And some do nothing.
How do I love you. 
And you love nothing.

I can look the other way.
Wonder where your eyes look. 
Jealousy can be such the crook. 
Pain is the novel.
Baby I can write the book.

Take my hand just like the old days baby.
I never led you wrong.
I listened to all your verses.
You know you were my favorite song. 
Turning back the clock could never stop.
Destiny is the law.

I will block the rain.
I promised this.
Let me die for this vow.
It is all I know how.
It is all I would do.
If it is only for you.

Put me in the clouds.
Your kiss can do that baby.
Too much sun I complained.
My lover you made it shady.
What's a man to do.
When he meets a woman like you.
Put me in the clouds.
You know what your kiss can do.

Freckles are my favorite.
I taste them on your skin.
Electrified brown eyes.
You intoxicate the wind.
My hands are where they shouldn't be.
I don't give a damn.
Girl, you do this to me.
I am just what I am.

Don't forget the lessons pain teaches.
Some places love never reaches.
At times you are too far.
God sends the angels to seek us.
I can't turn away from you.
Do you know that feeling too.

I know how a man can die.
In many different ways.
While staring up at the sky.
Thought he had the answers.
All he can ask is why.
She can move on though.
On to a new tomorrow.
Leave the one she once loved.
Did she really ever love though.

Why do some do what they do.
And some do nothing.
How do I love you. 
And you love nothing.

Love cuts like a jagged blade.
Hate cuts deeper than that.
Jealous magicians and their tricks.
There's no rabbits in their hats. 
No cards up the sleeve.
In the end it's just you and me.
Lights on, the shows over.
Let's get up now my lover.
It is time for us to leave. 

I will block the rain.
I promised this.
Let me die for this vow.
It is all I know how.
It is all I would do.
If it is only for you.

I will block the rain.

I promised this.

Don't forget the lessons pain teaches.
Some places love never reaches.
At times you are too far.
God sends the angels to seek us.
I can't turn away from you.
Do you know that feeling too.

I will block the rain.
