Ne-Yo - So You Can Cry Lyrics

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
You 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
Ohhhh if that's what you want alright

I'm a lover
And the pain of the heart from another
Can be difficult to recover
Yes, this I know
But difficult isn't impossible

And you shiver
He was your warmth
You cry, lips quiver
Well, honey, go on and cry me a river
If you wanna be down
Well then, fine let me help you out
How about

[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
Ohhhh if that's what you want alright

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
Even your heart has a pace
But how much time are you gonna to 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 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

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

[Whispers:]
If that's what you want alright
