Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came crashing down,
while you stayed dry,
reaching out beneath an endless sky.
You were dust and flame,
I was a storm on the run—
but you just drank me in
like I was never enough.
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you thunder,
I gave you floods,
you gave me silence,
you turned to dust.
[Chorus Hook]
I loved you
like rain loves the desert—
wild, relentless,
knowing it won’t last.
I loved you
like clouds love the drought—
emptying everything,
watching it fade too fast.
[Verse 2]
You called me lightning,
but you never stood still—
always chasing the heat
up every lonely hill.
I left pieces of myself
in the cracks of your ground,
but you just smiled
as I vanished without a sound.
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you rivers,
I gave you bloom,
you gave me dry winds
and empty rooms.
[Chorus Hook]
I loved you
like rain loves the desert—
wild, relentless,
knowing it won’t last.
I loved you
like clouds love the drought—
emptying everything,
watching it fade too fast.
[Bridge]
And I’d do it again,
even knowing the end—
I’d fall just to feel
your earth pull me in.
[Final Chorus Hook]
I loved you
like rain loves the desert—
wild, relentless,
still coming back to try.
I loved you
like storms love the silence—
raging,
beneath a Phoenix sky.
[Final Chorus Hook Fade Out]
Yeah, I loved you…
like rain loves the desert.
Yeah, I loved you…
like rain loves the desert.
Yeah, I loved you…
like rain loves the desert.
Yeah, I loved you…
like rain loves the desert.
