I believe I've attempted every move that I know

I was sure that by now you'd have let yourself go

I've been living my heart out, and without any shame

gotten down on my knees just to kindle this flam



But tonight I am down to the wire

I've been striking these matches in vain

Got a whole lt of smoke but no fire

'Cause you got a heart full of rain



Now somewhere in your history there's a reason or two

Why you won't let a body get close to you

Why the truth that I whisper always sounds like a lie

Why you're drowning inside from the tears you don't cry



But your eyes have never been dryer

And you smile like you're felling no pain

Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire

'Cause you got a heart full of rain



I had hoped I could open the heart that you hide

'Cause it sure needs a little sunshine inside



But tonight I am down to the wire

I've been striking these matches in vain

Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire

'Cause you got a heart full of rain
