Lonesome Rain

You never seemed to care
How many tears I sat and cried
I saw no remorse
For those lies you sat and lied
You didn't stop to think
On those words that brought me pain
Now you're the one left standing
In that cold, lonesome rain

Lonesome rain
The one that keeps pouring down
Lonesome rain
The one that turns life upside down
Lonesome rain
That long, cold, lonesome rain

Where are those friends
That were more important than me?
And what happened to that ladies' man
You said you'de always be?
Now it's just grey skies
You and the pain
Your world has become
That cold lonesome rain

I now dance in sunshine
As your world comes pouring down
It's called poetic justice
For all those nights you hit the town
Now, it's just those grey skies
You and the pain
As your days are carried out
In that cold, lonesome rain
