the rain fell down

 the sky grew dark

    and the rain fell down,

and I sat in my car

    and didn't turn the wipers on.

the world was a blur,

    and my heart was a stone.

my phone sat beside me,

    but I didn't call anyone.

and the sky stayed dark,

    and the rain fell down.

and I knew that my heart

    was wrong, so wrong.

and I drove back home,

    and the world moved slow.

and I know life is beautiful

    and rain makes things grow.

and maybe it should be enough

    to know about God's love,

but I'm soaking in the broken

    and you are not warm.

and He won't let me down

    but you did, and I'm trying

to do the right thing,

    but right now it still stings.
