When someone asked me "if you have to choose a song as the theme of your life, what would it be?"

Without any valid reason, I answered with no hesitation. "Tears & Rain" by James Blunt. I don’t even know why I picked this song but whenever I listen to it, I feel like “this song is about me.” Like James is sitting next to me and telling me my own story.

I think I never really show my true colour to the people around me. Even to my family sometimes. As I am a quite emotive and all my emotions are changing constantly, I am quite insecure to show who I really am.

How I wish I could surrender my soul
Shed the clothes that become my skin
See the liar that burns within my needing
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold
How I wish I had screamed out loud
Instead I've found no meaning

I guess it's time I run
Far, far away find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble
It's more than just words
It's just tears and rain

How I wish I could walk through
the doors of my mind
Hold memory close at hand
Help me understand the years
How I wish I could
Choose between Heaven and Hell
How I wish I would save my soul
I'm so cold from fear

I guess it's time I run
Far, far away find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words
It’s just tears and rain

Tears and rain
Tears and rain

Far, far away find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words
It’s just tears and rain
