It started with a look
She said to me,
"Why do you think we do what we do?"
There was nothing i could say.
I was caught off guard
On this cold October day.
I started to realize what was going to happen
So I took her hands as she tried to say goodbye.
I looked her in the eyes
As I started to cry
And these words just slipped through my lips

When the rain falls hard against the window pane
Think of me and how everything used to be.
When the stars start to shoot across this deep black sky
Think of the love we share inside.
When the clouds open up and you can see straight to heaven
I hope you're thinking, thinking of me.

She started to cry as she walked away.
I thought I could be her hero
The one she always dreamed of.
I thought i could turn her from
Nothing more than a sinner into a saint.
She left me behind in the arms of no one.
She showed me just how it could be to feel so alone.
The rain hit ******* my car door
And it started to remind me of those words,
Those words that slipped so easily through my lips
As all those tears streamed down my cheeks.

When the rain falls hard against the window pane
Think of me and how everything used to be.
When the stars start to shoot across this deep black sky
Think of the love we share inside.
When the clouds open up and you can see straight to heaven
I hope you're thinking, thinking of me.

Yeah i hope you're thinking, thinking of me
When you get to where you feel you need to be.
Cause i'll still be here singing songs of empathy.
Everyone will try to offer sympathy
but I won't let them in.
I just hope that when the rain falls hard against your window pane
You start to think of me and you realize
That heaven was where you
Were when you were with me.
I'll sit here under this dark and stormy sky
And i'll be the one to write the tale
Of a boy that once knew a girl
Who he wanted to give the world.
Now all he has is this pen and paper
And the dreams that he can't seem to forget
But he's trying so hard to not remember.
