I Stood Out In The Rain

I stood out in the rain today
To wash away my tears
To release the pain inside my heart
That's been building up for years

And as the water tumbled down
The salt mixed with the dirt
I felt my body begin to shake
As I crumbled from the hurt

On my knees I shook
From pain, new and old,
Though the day was still warm
My body felt so cold

Mascara ran
Lips bled
Words were yelled
More tears were shed

Deep down I knew it wasn't over
The rain could never heal
The places where the wounds were fresh
The places I couldn't feel

I stood out in the rain today
To hide all of my tears
So no one could see the pain inside
That I've carried for so many years..
