She asked about me

She asked about me 

           With special homage to Adele

She wanted to know what's going on with my life

You can tell her that I am doing just fine

I have stopped crying and started to write

And seem to be fond of fire and rain

No, tell her I have no wish to see her again 

Because I already knew

All the things she would say to me 

They are never, never true

All the games she would play

She would always, always win

She would keep me under her sway

And she wouldn't think that is a sin

Please tell her one day I set fire to the rain

Watched it pour as I thought I saw her face

It burned while I cried

And screamed for her name

Yes, I set fire to the rain

And threw her and me into the flame 

I felt something inside me die 

Since then I no longer feel the same

Sometimes I wake up on the floor

I smell smoke, I feel rain

She is with me no more

But I stop screaming for her name
