I've been impatiently waiting,
And painfully aware,
That my heart continues beating,
But my lungs can't find the air,
I wrap my empty arms around me,
To hold what's left inside.
It's like the world has torn me open
And cast my soul aside,

In the cold steel rain,
Falling from the sky,
I can't get through to you,
But I'll never let go,
Like a ball and chain,
Pulling me down,
I reach for the surface,
But I don't know where to go,
Baby all this time,
You've always had the best of me,
I wish I knew the way,
To give you all the rest of me,
And underneath the cold steel rain,
You walk away.

So now you're picking up the pieces,
Of the mess I left behind,
And your eyes can't hide the damage,
That you try so hard to hide,
You wrap your empty arms around you,
And wince against the pain,
And in your heart you make a promise,
That you know you're gonna break again,

In the cold steel rain,
Falling from the sky,
I can't get through to you,
But I'll never let go,
Like a ball and chain,
Pulling me down,
I reach for the surface,
But I don't know where to go,
Baby all this time,
You've always had the best of me,
I wish I knew the way,
To give you all the rest of me,
And underneath the cold steel rain,
You walk away.

(And as the rain comes down)
The world looks all brand new,
(And as the rain comes down)
I want to wash your pain away
(And as the rain comes down)
And let it take the pain from you

In the cold steel rain,
Falling from the sky,
I can't get through to you,
But I'll never let go,
Like a ball and chain,
Pulling me down,
I reach for the surface,
But I don't know where to go,
Baby all this time,
You've always had the best of me,
I wish I knew the way,
To give you all the rest of me,
And underneath the cold steel rain,
You walk away.
And underneath the cold steel rain,
You walk away.
