"So You Can Cry" lyrics

[Verse 1]
So, it's over
He's with someone else and you know her
And you just can't get any lower
Sit in the dark alone
And won't answer your phone

[Verse 2]
Well
I'm sorry
I won't attend your pity party
I'd rather go have calimari
And maybe a drink
And, yes, I think
You should come with me

[Pre-chorus]
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)
I'll ask the clouds to bring
The rain for you today
So you can cry
(If that's what you want, alright)

If that's what you want, alright...

[Verse 4]
I'm a lover
And the pain of a hurt from another
Can be difficult to recover
Yes, this I know
But difficult
Isn't impossible

[Verse 5]
And you shiver
He was your warmth
you cry, lips quiver
Honey, go on and cry me a river
You wanna be down?
Fine, let me help you out
How 'bout...

[Chorus]

If that's what you want, alright...
Then, if that's what you want, alright...

[Interlude]
And your tears won't bring him back
I know you wish that they did
But it just don't work like that..

I know that healing takes take time
Hey, even your heart has a pace
But, how much time are you gonna take?

Too much would be a mistake...

[Chorus]

I'll ask the sun to shine
Away from you today
So you can cry

If that's what you want..
