"The Rain" lyrics

It's funny but I can't laugh
It's so sad but I can't cry
But it doesn't mean there's nothing left inside

I got some nasty scars to prove
What I been through
I guess it's safe to say that I'm nothing like you

When your smile is your best-kept secret
When you smile they say girl just keep it
Desperate for change
But things never change

So I'd rather stand in the rain
Though it's poring down on me
But it's washing all my pain away

The water's rising high
It overtakes my life
Lying saturated I am
Won't let it drown me
'Cause hope has got me floating
Behind the clouds a rainbow waits for me

When your smile is your best-kept secret
When you smile they say girl just keep it
Desperate for change
But things never change

So I'd rather stand in the rain
Though it's poring down on me
But it's washing all my pain away

Away, away, away, away pain away pain away, away

Pain is gone
It's raining
Because it's raining on me
Draining my pain away
It's raining washing my pain away
Washing my tears away

So I'd rather stand in the rain
