I stepped outside into a cold December rain.

Trying to forget, that look upon your face.

They were empty words, so I turned and walked away.

With the rain to remind me, things would never be the same.

 

Life is full of choices that we make.

Some will make you wonder – and some your heart will break.

Some will leave you out in the rain.

 

I always thought my reasons were so clear.

I never saw us here, never in a million years.

But words are strong, stronger than we know.

They’re hard to forget, and even harder to let go.

 

Life is full of choices that we make.

Some will send you walking down a road you’d never take.

Some will leave you out in the rain.

 

So let the rain, wash away my tears.

Tears I’ve cried and tears I left behind.

Though I long for yesterday, I know it’s gone.

And as I stand here in the rain, let it wash away my pain.

 

Oh, life is full of choices that we make.

Some will make you wonder – and some your heart will break.

And some will leave you in a cold December rain.
