- So You Can Cry LyricsVerse 1: 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 is long
There will be pain but life goes on
with everyday 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)
I'll ask the clouds to bring the rain for you today so you can cry
Ooooo (If that's what you want alright)
Mmmmm if that's what you want alright
I'm a lover
in 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 ha)
He was your warmth, you cry lips quiver (quiver ha)
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
Ohh woah wooo! (If that's what you want alright)
I'll ask the clouds to bring the rain (rain rain rain rain rain rain) for you today so you can cry
Ooo wooo uh(If that's what you want alright)
Ooooooo! If that's what if that's what you want alright. Then if 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
I know that healing takes time, hey!
Even your heart has a pace, hooo!
but how much time are you gonna take?
Too much would be a mistake
Oh wo wo woah!
Chrous: I'll ask the sun to shine away from you today so you can cry
Ohh woah wooo! (If that's what you want alright)
I'll ask the clouds to bring the rain (bring the rain, bring the rain!) for you today so you can cry
Ooo wooo uh(If that's what you want alright)
Ooooooo! If that's what if that's what you want alright. Then if that's what you want alright
I'll ask the sun to shine away from you today so you can cry
Talk: If that's what you want
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
