If you ever leave me, baby
Leave some morphine at my door
‘Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have
We don’t have it anymore
There’s no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor, oh
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I’m makin’
To keep you by my side
To keep you from walkin’ out the door
‘Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Every day, it’ll rain
Rain, rain
I’ll never be your mother’s favorite
Your daddy can’t even look me in the eye
Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I’d be doing the same thing
Saying, “There goes my little girl
Walking with that troublesome guy”
But they’re just afraid of something they can’t understand
Ooh, but, little darling, watch me change their minds
Yeah, for you, I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try
And pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleedin’
If that’ll make you mine
‘Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Every day, it’ll rain
Rain, rain
Ooh, don’t you say (Don’t you say)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Don’t you say (Don’t you say)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleedin’
If that’ll make it right
‘Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
And there’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
And just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Every day, it’ll rain
Rain, rain
Heartbreak and Unconditional Devotion
“It Will Rain” by Bruno Mars is a haunting ballad that explores the pain and desperation felt at the prospect of losing a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of emotional turmoil, using rain as a metaphor for sorrow and heartbreak. Mars conveys a sense of utter dependence, suggesting that the world loses its color and hope without his partner. He pleads for understanding from his lover’s family, acknowledging their concerns while vowing to do whatever it takes to stay together. The repeated imagery of picking up broken pieces emphasizes his willingness to endure pain for love, making the song a raw and honest declaration of commitment amid uncertainty.
