Pengulangan kalimat “every day it’ll rain” di bagian chorus bukan hanya soal cuaca, tapi bentuk dari perasaan.
Lagu ini seakan menggambarkan bahwa perpisahan sama dengan kehilangan arah. Dunia yang tadinya penuh warna berubah jadi kelabu setiap harinya.
Bruno Mars juga menyentuh soal luka yang datang dari penolakan keluarga. Ia tahu posisinya tidak diterima, tapi tetap berusaha keras untuk memperbaiki keadaan.
Di sinilah letak ironi lagu ini, bahwa cinta yang begitu besar, tapi tidak mampu menahan perpisahan yang akhirnya terasa tak terhindarkan.
Pada akhirnya, “It Will Rain” bukan hanya lagu patah hati, melainkan kisah tentang rasa takut, pengorbanan, dan perpisahan yang menyisakan kehampaan.
Lagu ini mengingatkan kita bahwa cinta bisa menguatkan, tapi juga bisa menghancurkan, terutama saat yang kita cintai pergi meninggalkan kita sendiri.
Lirik Lagu It Will Rain
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 and 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
Ooh, ooh
I'll never be your mother's favorite (uh)
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Sayin', "There goes my little girl, walking with that troublesome guy"
But they're just afraid of somethin' they can't understand
Ooh, but, little darlin', 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 it right
'Cause there'll be no sunlight if I lose you, baby
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
Ooh, ooh
Oh, 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
Ooh, ooh
