Description
Love in this sound is like the weather - once it's gone, the sun packs its bags, the sky turns grey, and the heart turns into an endless rain forecast. Dramatic? You bet. But there's something touching about this drama: the willingness to pick up the pieces until they bleed, just to keep the warmth. The song sounds like a confession, where stubbornness and tenderness are intertwined in one long, endlessly wet melody.
Lyrics and translation
Original
If you ever leave me, baby.
Leave some morphine at my door.
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication, to realize what we used to have, we don't have it anymore.
There's no religion that could save me.
No matter how long my knees are on the floor, oh.
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm making.
To keep you by my side, to keep you from walking out the door.
'Cause there'll be no sunlight if I lose you, baby.
There'll be no clear skies if I lose you, baby.
And just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same.
If you walk away, everyday it'll rain, rain, rain.
Yeah.
I'll never be your mother's favorite.
Uh, your daddy can't even look me in the eye, ooh.
If I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing.
Saying, "There goes my little girl, walking with that troublesome guy.
" But they're just afraid of something they can't understand.
Ooh, but little darling, watch me change their minds.
Yeah, for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try.
I'll pick up these broken pieces till I'm bleeding, if that'll make it right.
'Cause there'll be no sunlight if I lose you, baby.
There'll be no clear skies if I lose you, baby.
And just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same.
If you walk away, everyday it'll rain, rain, rain.
Yeah.
Oh, don't you say goodbye.
Don't you say goodbye.
I'll pick up these broken pieces till I'm bleeding, if that'll make it right.
'Cause there'll be no sunlight if I lose you, baby.
And there'll be no clear skies if I lose you, baby.
And just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same.
If you walk away, everyday it'll rain, rain, rain.
Yeah.
