Mare (Call It Rain) Lyrics

I felt you holding my hand in my sleep

Was that a dream

I was scared that I was comforted

By my worst enemy

The birdcage you put me in

Feels like quiet lullabies

I hate you but I want you here

When I open my eyes

I can't afford to love you

But you just won't let me go

My freedom's not enough, you want my pain

Set the world on fire and call it rain

You force me to stand next to you

So everyone can see

I'm glorified and painted over

Who I used to be

Kingdoms fall and subjects crawl

Into your wicked lie

How could I have ever thought

That we could have survived

I can't afford to love you

But you just won't let me go

My freedom's not enough, you want my pain

Set the world on fire and call it rain
