Wish It Would Rain
Storm of Regret: Heidi Merrill's Emotional Journey Through Heartbreak
Lyrics
V1:
Expressing determination to take a firm stand.
Put my foot down one last time, but you know I didn’t mean it
Admitting that the strong stance taken was insincere.
Knew the minute that you crossed that line, boy I should have seen it
Regretting not recognizing the consequences when a boundary was crossed.
PRECHORUS 1:
Introduction of the first pre-chorus section.
But you had me wrapped around your little finger
Acknowledging being emotionally controlled by the person.
I should have known behind my back you’re right there with her
Realization of betrayal by the person with someone else.
Guess I should move on, wring out my heart and just start over
Considering moving on and healing from the emotional pain.
Let the storm roll in
Metaphorical suggestion to let emotional turmoil unfold like a storm.
CHORUS:
Introduction of the chorus.
I wish it would rain on me
Expressing a desire for a cleansing, emotional rain.
Wash away the memories
Wanting to erase memories associated with the person.
And all the dirt
Desiring to wash away emotional impurities.
And all the lies
Expressing a wish to eliminate the lies surrounding the relationship.
S0 I can stop thinking about you
Longing to stop constant thoughts about the person.
All the time
Highlighting the persistent nature of thoughts about the person.
I wish it would rain
Reiteration of the desire for emotional cleansing.
V2:
Beginning of the second verse.
You always had a wandering eye, thought I was your one and only
Accusing the person of being unfaithful with a wandering eye.
Your loving words made me blind, to what everyone had told me
Reflecting on being deceived by the person's affectionate words.
PRECHORUS 2:
Introduction of the second pre-chorus section.
You still had me wrapped around your little finger
Reiteration of emotional control despite betrayal.
I should have known behind my back you’re right there with her
Realization of continued betrayal with someone else.
Guess I should move on, wring out my heart and just start over
Considering the need to move on and heal again.
Let the storm roll in
Repeating the metaphor of letting a storm of emotions unfold.
CHORUS:
Reiteration of the chorus.
BRIDGE:
Introduction of the bridge section.
One day the light will shine down on my place in the sun
Expressing hope for a brighter future despite current challenges.
But right now I’m standing in the storm of what you’ve done
Acknowledging the current difficult situation caused by the person.
