Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Walk in the room, my high heels on, I strike a pose

Young, dumb, and cute, nothing to lose

And now the past is someone that I have to answer for

I got a whole new point of view

Misunderstood, but I'm not gonna sweat it

Isn't it all for the show?

Keeping a smile on my face for protection

Turning my tears into gold

So I cry (cry)

Only in the rain (only in the rain)

So I cry (cry)

Only in the rain (only in the rain)

Don't wanna be sad, God, it feels like a waste of time

Maybe it's fake, but I don't care

You don't deserve my heart

And guess what, I don't owe it to you

If you're offended, say a prayer

Misunderstood, but I'm not gonna sweat it

Isn't it all for the show? (Mm-hm)

Keeping a smile on my face for protection

Turning my tears into gold

So I cry (cry)

Only in the rain (only in the rain)

So I cry (cry)

Only in the rain (only in the rain)

Only in the rain, only in the rain (I cry, I cry)

Only in the rain, only in the rain (I cry, I cry)

Only in the rain, only in the rain (I cry, I cry)

Only in the rain, only in the rain (I cry, I cry)

So I cry (cry)

Only in the rain (only in the rain)

So I cry (cry)

Only in the rain (only in the rain)

So I cry (cry)

Only in the rain (only in the rain)

So I cry (cry)

Only in the rain (only in the rain)

Only in the rain, only in the rain (I cry, I cry)

Only in the rain, only in the rain (I cry, I cry)

Only in the rain, only in the rain (I cry, I cry)

Only in the rain, only in the rain (I cry, I cry)
