Sting of the Rain lyrics

Take another glance in the mirror

to look over where I've been.

I wanna try to remember.

To forget this would be a sin.

And I've got enough strikes against me,

I don't need to add to the load.

Keep my hands on the throttle,

keep my eyes on the road.

It's like being the star of a movie

and I didn't want to play this part

and no amount of compromisin'

is gonna take away this pain in my heart.

I'm gettin' kinda used to the darkness

and I reach to embrace the pain.

The only thing that keeps me awake

is the sting of the rain.

It's the sting of the rain.

Oh, it's the sting of the rain.

Let the water of life

wash the dust from my soul.

All I gotta do is just roll.

It's the sting of the rain.

Whoa, it's the sting of the rain.

Let the water of life

wash the dust from my soul.

All I gotta do is just roll.  

Take another glance in the mirror.

Where did I miss the sign?

Did I lose my way in the darkness?

Did my dreams leave me behind?

And I can't turn back to find them,

I wouldn't know where to start.

Keep my hand on the throttle,

ride the pain from my heart.

It's the sting of the rain.

Oh, it's the sting of the rain.

Let the waters of life

wash the dust from my soul

'cause all I'm gonna do is just roll.

It's the sting of the rain.

Whoa, it's the sting of the rain.

Let the waters of life

wash this dust from my soul.

All I'm gonna do is just roll.
