Song lyrics
I let it fall, my heart, and as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark, and I was over
Until you kissed my lips, and you saved me

My hands, they were strong
But my knees, were far too weak, to stand, in your arms
Without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you, that I never knew never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well it burn while I cried 'cause I heard it
Screaming out your name, your name

When I lay, with you, I could stay there
Close my eyes feel you here, forever
You and me, together nothing gets better

'Cause there's a side to you, that I never knew never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well it burn while I cried 'cause I heard it
Screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When I felt something died 'cause I knew that
That was the last time, the last time

Sometimes I'd wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you

I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well it burn while I cried 'cause I heard it
Screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When I felt something died 'cause I knew that
That was the last time, the last time

Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-No-Oh-Whoa-Oh-Ooh
Let it burn (burn)

Oh-Oh-Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Let it bur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-urn
Let it bur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-urn

Because it doesn't contain quite the epic power of "Rolling In the Deep" or "Someone Like You," it is easy to feel perhaps a bit let down with Adele's next single "Set Fire To the Rain." However, that simple assessment would miss some truly notable elements of the song. The lyrics are moving, and the sweeping orchestration carries us right into the heart of Adele's pain.

- Powerful lyrics
- Sweeping string orchestration underlined by driving beats
- Just slightly below the quality of previous singles

What I remember most about this song is listening to it on the bus on repeat and wishing school started later.
