I’d rather be dry but at least I’m alive (At least I'm alive) Gotta live my truth, not keep it bottled in Living in a world where no one’s innocent I only asked you to show me a real good time And if there's a strong current with a bunch of waves and they keep crashing over you, if you keep swimming, you'll reach the center of the ocean, where it's calm, still, and peaceful. I remember thinking I had cried so many tears that it felt like unfathomable downpour from my eyes but even with that much rain, you don't have to drown, even though it feels like you are. I'm totally hiding." And then this friendship blossomed.ĭuring the acceptance speech for the winning "Rain On Me" in the "Song of the Year" at the 2020 MTV VMAs, Lady Gaga explained how the title of the song was indeed inspired by crying.

And then I remember I said to her, "Okay, now everything that you care about while you sing, I want you to forget it and just sing. I was sitting at the console and talking to her.
