Lyrics

Last time you thought of him he thought of you
And it proves the magic was for real
Just then the winds of change
Brought down the falling rain, so unexpected
What should you do?
Now, you've got plans to change, some things to rearrange
Scared of tomorrow, scared of right now too
See, it's all very sad
Can't deny you feel bad
But I just don't want you to let this thing take you over
Don't let it hurt so bad, don't let it because
Everything can be the way that it was
But keep hurt inside and it's just like those tears of a clown
Everyone says that you'll come back around
But not if you fall too far down
No one really knows
When their clouds will go away
That's why they say we should always save
For a rainy day
Someone made some promises they didn't keep
It set you up just to let you down
Be careful not to let it push you around
And you'll be ok, if you take one day by one day
See, I just dont want you to
Let this thing take you over
Don't let it hurt so bad, don't let it because
Most of your life can be the way that it was
But keep hurt inside and it's just like the tears of the clown
Everyone thinks that you'll come back around
But not if you fall too far down
Too far down is where you'll fall when you dont care no more
But what about love?
Isn't it worth living for?
You dont know...
Don't let it hurt so bad, dont let it because
Most of your life can really be the way that it was
But keep hurt inside and it's just like those tears of a clown
Everyone says that you'll come back around
But not if you fall too far down
You're not the only one who's loved and who's lost
So many people too know the've all paid the cost
The thing that we learn is how to get a smile from a frown
Go ahead if you want, stumble and fall
But dont fall, honey, too far down
Pick yourself up, if you're lost, you'll be found
But if you dont care you're just too far down
I know you feel so left out, pushed around
But nevertheless, dont go too far down
