Loaf - If It Has To Rain

Details

Description

(Verse 1)
We didn’t shout, we didn’t cry,
Just sat in the silence and let it pass by.
You looked away, I looked down,
No need for blame, no need to drown.

(Pre-Chorus)
We both know love can slowly fade,
Like the last note in a song we played.

(Chorus)
If it has to rain, let it fall slow,
Let the skies turn grey so the flowers can grow.
If goodbye must come, let it be kind,
Like a soft wind blowing through the back of our minds.
No thunder, no pain—if it has to rain.

(Verse 2)
We had our spring, we had our June,
Danced to our rhythm, hummed our tune.
But seasons turn, as they always do,
And hearts sometimes need something new.

(Pre-Chorus)
There’s no regret, there’s just the ache,
Of gently learning what we can’t remake.

(Chorus)
If it has to rain, let it wash clean,
All the could-have-beens and in-betweens.
If the end is near, let’s not pretend—
It’s better to drift than to break or bend.
No thunder, no pain—if it has to rain.

(Bridge)
And maybe someday, when we both recall,
We’ll smile at the rise before the fall.
Not every love is meant to remain,
But I’ll still be grateful… even for rain.

(Final Chorus)
If it has to rain, let it fall slow,
Let it carry the love where it needs to go.
No bitterness, no blame—just a gentle refrain…
If it has to rain… let it rain.

(Outro – soft piano fade)
Let it rain… let it rain…
