It was raining hard in Houston when I ran into her
I searched for conversation but I was lost for words
"Miley?" I asked timidly.
"What is it?" she asked quietly.
"I, um, uh," I stuttered.
"Nicky, just come right out and say it. Whatever it is, it'll be okay. You're making me nervous," she blushed.
"I think we should break up," I said before I could stop myself. When I saw her face I wish I would have stopped myself.
"Wha-Why?" she asked crying bitterly.
"I just need space," I said. And I left.
Then a cloud of tear filled memories came crashin' down on me
If it hadn't been for the pourin' rain I'm sure she would have seen
I jumped awake and found myself in a cold sweat. My sheets were a mess. I groaned. I'd been having that stupid dream about the worst day of my life over and over again. Lately it became more frequent and had results like this.
Tears in the rain hidin' the pain
Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry
She thinks I'm so strong oh but she's so wrong
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain
I'll never forget how it started raining as soon as I said those awful words. It was like the whole world was crying with me. She deserves better. That's why I let her go. But I've come to realize that I need her. I can't live without her. She doesn't see that. She sees me as a heartless jerk, and that hurts me even more.
Now I'll regret that moment 'cuz I didn't let her know
How much I still loved her I was hopin' it would show
But the raindrops and the teardrops ran together on my face
Now she'll never ever know no one can take her place
I can't believe I never let her know how much I needed her. I still love her. I was hoping she knew that. But she needed to hear the words, and I couldn't say them. Doesn't she realize that Selena was a filler for her? If I can't have the Miley Cyrus shouldn't I be able to have "the next Miley"? Apparently not, because no one can ever take Miley's place.
Tears in the rain hidin' the pain
Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry
She thinks I'm so strong oh but she's so wrong
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain
