“Is It Tears or Just the Rain?” (Piano Version)

Tell me, are you crying, or is it the rain

Dripping softly from the tip of your nose?

Tell me, are you crying, or is it the rain

Tracing paths along your upper lip? Yeah.

The past sometimes catches up to you,

You’ve been hurt so much, but that time is through.

There are things you’ve kept, I don’t fully know,

But one thing’s clear—I won’t let you go.

And I feel, even if it’s almost perfect,

Something’s hiding underneath.

I can see it in your eyes—you’re scared I’ll leave,

But where could I go?

Tell me, are you crying, or is it the rain

Dripping softly from the tip of your nose?

Tell me, are you crying, or is it the rain

Sliding gently as it flows?

Come close, I’ll kiss away that drop (heh-oh-uh-oh),

Taste it, see if it’s salty or not, yeah.

Tell me, are you crying, or is it the rain?

Or is it just the rain? (Mhm).

I press the pedal; you take the wheel (you steer),

I stare at holes in the cloudy skies.

You whisper, “Can I ask what you’re thinking here?” (thinking here?)

And I think this could last our whole lives.

I know your heart still needs time to heal,

And those scars, they’ll stay, but they’re real.

Maybe fate’s written us this way,

To heal each other, day by day.

Tell me, are you crying, or is it the rain

Dripping softly from the tip of your nose?

Tell me, are you crying, or is it the rain

Sliding gently as it flows?

Come close, I’ll kiss away that drop (heh-oh-uh-oh),

Taste it, see if it’s salty or not, yeah.

Tell me, are you crying, or is it the rain?

Or is it just the rain? (Mhm).

Tell me, are you crying, or is it the rain

Dripping softly from the tip of your nose?

Tell me, are you crying, or is it the rain

Tracing paths along your upper lip?

Come here, let me kiss it all away (heh-oh-uh-oh),

Feel it—salty or sweet today?

Tell me, are you crying, or is it the rain?

Or is it just the rain? (Mhm).
