James Blunt - Tears and Rain lyrics

How I wish I could surrender my soul
Shed the clothes that become my skin
See the liar that burns within my needing
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold
How I wish I had screamed out loud
Instead I've found no meaning

I guess it's time I run far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same: it just
Keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble
It's more than just words: it's
Just tears and rain

How I wish I could walk through
The doors of my mind
(Hold memory close at hand)
Hold memory close at hand
Help me understand the years
How I wish I could choose
Between Heaven and Hell
How I wish I would save my soul
I'm so cold from fear

I guess it's time I run far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same: it just
Keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same: it just
Keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words: it's
Just tears and rain

Tears and Rain tears and Rain

Far, far away find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same: it just
Keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words: it's
Just tears and rain
