Story Behind The Song

A woman sings about her ex who broke her heart and she is still in love with him. She pretends that she is fine and that she doesn't miss him. She tries to blame the rain and everything else for her tears and her pain. She makes up excuses and lies to herself about why she is unhappy. She wishes that he would come back to her, but she doesn't want to admit it. She blames it on the rain, instead of facing the truth. It's ironically sad.

Lyrics

The sky is grey and once again
I can feel a storm come rolling in
This could be a long night
I try to sleep
It's pouring down
I reach for you
Forgot you're not around
But I'm gonna be alright
I've got my space to myself
Don't have to answer to no one else
This couldn't be better

So if I cry
It's not cause I'm missing you
No, I'm just fine
I'm so damn over you
I don't want it back the way it was
You could never be the cause of all this pain
So I blame it on the rain
I blame it on the rain

When I wonder if you're doing fine
Well I don't care, I'm just killing time
That's the only reason why
And when I just can't shake the blues
I try to tell myself it isn't you
I wanna believe it
Don't need to hold you all night
Or see your face in the morning light
I'm gonna make it without you

So if I cry
It's not cause I'm missing you
No, I'm just fine
I'm so damn over you
I don't want it back the way it was
You could never be the cause of all this pain
So I blame it on the rain
I blame it on the rain

Blame it on the hundred degree days
Blame it on the traffic on the highway
Anything but what I know is true
So bring on all the clouds and let it rain on
I'll be okay if I can put the blame on
Anything everything

So if I cry
It's not cause I'm missing you
No, I'm just fine
I'm so damn over you
I don't want it back the way it was
You could never be the cause of all this pain
So I'll blame it on the rain
I blame it on the rain
I blame it on the rain
I blame it on the rain
