You are the rose that's been kissed by the rain
why do you thirst for my puddle of pain
do not forsake the love that you have found
I am only just a ghost in this town
this hidden rain is melting me inside
I love you much more than just saying goodbye
but my heart belongs to the desert sky
and I hate you just enough to make you cry
the more things change, the more things stay the same
the more I change, the more I feel this way
like I'm on a road to nowhere from somewhere strange
and I still believe that something will change
this hidden rain is melting me inside
I love you just enough to make you cry
but my heart belongs to the desert sky
and I hate you much more than just saying goodbye
and I live for the hour he takes you home
for with you he takes the ageless unknown
but I don't think I could take watching you go
'cause I'm wanted dead or alive
and I'm captured as both
this hidden rain is melting me inside
I love you much more than not asking why
but my heart belongs to the desert sky
and I hate you just enough to lay down and die
this scarlet ribbon-tied lock of my hair
will always remind you that once I cared
