Description
The companion piece to Drowning, together they tell one story from opposite sides of the same storm.
Some storms don’t come from the sky—they come from the choices we make.
I Was The Rain is the other side of the story. A confession from the one who caused the heartbreak, knowing there are no excuses and no words that can undo the damage. It’s about living with the weight of regret, watching the person you loved disappear beneath the pain you created, and accepting that some love can never be repaired.
Built on haunting melodies, deep bass, and a rain-soaked atmosphere, this track captures the loneliness of facing your own mistakes. Not a plea for forgiveness, but an acceptance that sometimes the greatest act of love is letting go, even when it means carrying the guilt forever.
Lyrics
Intro
Mm…
If I could take it back…
I would.
Verse 1
I still see your face when I close my eyes,
The look you gave before goodbye.
I wish that I could blame the night,
But every choice was mine.
You asked me once if I’d ever leave,
I held your hand and said I’d never.
Funny how forever broke
In just a single second.
Pre-Chorus
You don’t have to hear me out.
You don’t have to stay.
I know sorry isn’t strong enough
To wash this hurt away.
Chorus
I watched you drown…
And I was the rain.
I put those tears inside your eyes,
Now nothing feels the same.
I know your heart
Won’t beat for me again.
If loving you means letting go,
Then I’ll live with what I did.
I watched you drown…
And I couldn’t save you.
Verse 2
Every room still speaks your name,
Your sweater’s hanging where you left it.
I keep reaching for your side,
Knowing it’s empty.
They say that people make mistakes,
But this was more than just a moment.
I broke the one thing I believed
Would always keep me grounded.
Pre-Chorus
You owe me nothing now.
Not another chance.
Not another conversation.
Not another glance.
Chorus
I watched you drown…
And I was the rain.
I put those tears inside your eyes,
Now nothing feels the same.
I know your heart
Won’t beat for me again.
If loving you means letting go,
Then I’ll live with what I did.
I watched you drown…
And I couldn’t save you.
Bridge
Maybe one day
You’ll smile again.
Maybe someone else
Will love you better than I ever did.
And if you forget me…
Maybe that’s the kindest ending.
Because remembering me
Only brings the flood back.
Final Chorus
I watched you drown…
From the shore I made.
Calling out your name too late,
Watching hope just fade.
I lost your trust,
I lost our future too.
The hardest part of losing you
Is knowing I deserved to.
I watched you drown…
Because of me.
Outro
I wanted forever…
But forever ended
The night I chose
To break your heart.
