[Verse 1]
It’s been falling every morning
Before I even rise
Pouring through the windows
Of a heart I couldn’t hide

I’ve tried covering the memories
With laughter and with light
But the sky keeps breaking open
No matter how I fight

[Chorus]
How do I stop the rain
When it lives inside my chest?
When the storm is made of moments
That I never laid to rest?
I keep holding up this umbrella
But it never hides the pain
Tell me, love…
How do I stop the rain?

[Verse 2]
I walk through crowded places
But still feel miles away
Every face reminds me
Of the words you didn’t say

I pretend the clouds are clearing
But they never really do
And every drop that hits the ground
Still sounds like losing you

[Chorus]
How do I stop the rain
When it’s coming from within?
When the thunder is a memory
I keep letting back in?
I’ve been drying out my soul
But the ache still leaves a stain
Tell me, love…
How do I stop the rain?

[Bridge – soft, stripped down]
Maybe it’s not meant to end
Maybe pain just learns to bend
But I’m tired of the weight
Of skies that never mend

[Final Chorus – quiet strength, no big belt]
How do I stop the rain
When it falls from things unsaid?
When the silence feels like thunder
Ringing louder in my head
If I gave up every memory
Would it wash away the blame?
Or would I still
Be standing in the rain?

[Outro – fading, breathy]
How do I…
How do I stop the rain…?

HOW DO I STOP THE RAIN
