The lyrics are (possibly... maybe?) :

After the rain has gone
Something inside me, I know
Is dying
The sleet and the snow
Does this mean I know
The way

After the rains have gone
Something inside me cries
What's behind the door?
This girl just can't take it any more.

After the pain has gone
I finally open my eyes
Not crying any more
We drifted apart
It's broken our hearts
(da-deee!)

After the rains have gone
Something inside me cries
What's behind the door?
This girl just can't take it any more.

Oh I just can't take
What my love don't want to fake
This girl just can't take it anymore.
