Safe From The Rain by Melodie Yvonne

I am nothing but this wicked thing that tries to slink to freedom
I’m nothing but this evil thing that cast us out of Eden
But at some point there has to be a shared hand in the blame
‘Cause you might’ve not ask the world to flood, but you asked for the rain

I’m maybe not the perfect girl I know most my time’s wasted
I sure don’t have too much regret except that fruit I tasted
But at least I ask forgiveness and I know I caused my pain
See I might’ve not asked my world to flood, but I asked for the rain

I hope you hear these words I say and let them fill your soul
I hope you feel this love I give and let it make you whole
See sometimes right don’t matter and there’s no sense pointin’ blame
And you can’t just ask the world to flood to take away your pain

No, you can’t just ask the world to flood to take away your pain

Sometimes life gets the best of you, it’s hard to go on livin’
Sometimes it’s hard to see it through, and you get tired of givin’
But know you’re not alone here we’ve got shared hands in the blame, baby
And maybe someday the world will flood, but we’re safe from the rain

Oh yeah this here ugly world might flood but you’re safe from the rain, baby

Yeah one day this here world might flood, but we’re safe from the rain
