So You Can Cry

[Verse 1]

Mm, so it's over

He's with someone else and you know her

And you just can't get any lower

You sit in the dark alone

And won't answer your phone

Well, I'm sorry

I won't attend your pity party

I'd rather go have calamari

And maybe a drink, and yes, I think

You should come with me

Life isn't long

There will be pain, but life goes on

With every day, a brand new song

But if you'd rather stay at home

Let me do you a favor

[Chorus]

I'll ask the sun to shine

Away from you today so you can cry

If that's what you want, alright

And I'll ask the clouds to bring

The rain for you today so you can cry

If that's what you want, alright

Mm, if that's what you want, alright

Mm (Said)

[Verse 2]

I'm a lover

And the pain of a heart from another

Can be difficult to recover

Yes, this I know

But difficult isn't impossible

And you shiver (Shiver)

He was your warmth, you cry, lips quiver (Quiver)

Well honey, go on and cry me a river

You wanna be down? (Wanna be down)

Well fine, let me help you out

How 'bout

[Chorus]

I'll ask the sun to shine

Away from you today so you can cry? (Oh no, ooh)

If that's what you want, alright

And I'll ask the clouds to bring

The rain for you today so you can cry

Oh, if that's what you want, alright

Ooh, and that's what you want, alright

Then that's what you want, alright

[Bridge]

And your tears won't bring him back

I know you wish that it did

But it just don't work like that

Ooh, I know that healing takes time

Hey, even your heart has a pace, oh

But, how much time are you gonna take?

Mm, too much would be a mistake

Woah-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

I'll ask the sun to shine (Ooh)

Away from you today so you can cry (Cry), woah, woah, ooh

If that's what you want, alright

And I'll ask the clouds to bring (Bring the rain)

The rain for you today so you can cry (So you can cry, yeah)

If that's what you want, alright

[Outro]

I'll ask the sun to shine

Away from you today so you can cry

If that's what you want, alright
