[Verse 1]
I know it's all a game
I know they're all insane
I know it's all in vain
I know that I'm to blame

[Chorus]
This tearing apart
Tearing apart
Tearing apart
Tearing apart

[Verse 2]
I think we all should die
I think we're dead inside
I know the purest rain
Won't wash the bloody stain
I know it waits to strike
This sickness from inside

[Chorus]
Will tear us apart
Tear us apart
Tear us apart
You're still in my heart
Tearing apart
Tearing apart
Tearing apart
Oh you hold the rain
[Bridge]
Far far away
Wild swans skim across a lake
Then soar in a white arc
Above my head I wake
Tearing apart

[Chorus]
Tearing apart
Tearing apart
Tearing apart
You're still in my heart
Tearing apart
Tearing apart
Tearing apart
Oh you hold the rain
Oh you hold the rain

I know the purest rain
Won't wash the bloody stain
I know it waits to strike
This sickness from inside

Will tear us apart
Tear us apart
Tear us apart
You're still in my heart
Tearing apart
Tearing apart
Tearing apart
Oh you hold the rain
Oh you hold the rain
Oh you hold the rain
