Verse 1:

Was today a rough day, I see it in you

Hurts my heart inside just by looking at you

There is not a lot that I can do, except for being next to you

I'm sorry, I wish there was something more I could do

 

Prechorus:

Your smile, it's so bright,

it can light up the sky

It makes my day whenever it shines

So when you've lost it for the day

I want to search the world to give it  back to you

I'll do whatever it takes

 

Chorus:

Yes I'd rather cry instead of letting you cry, oh let me shed those tears for you tonight

And I'd rather be the one who gets hurt instead, if you'd never be in pain again

 

When there's someone you love

More than your heart can take

Why does it feel so strange

When you love someone that way

 

Verse 2:

When you feel a little stressed out, just think of me and what I'd say

Even when you can't see me, I'm still right by your side every day

I wish I could show you, even on a rainy day

That rainbows come in different forms, and yours' on its way

 

Prechorus:

Your heart, it's so kind, it can melt away the night,

I felt its warmth right from the first "hi"

So when it's hurting, silent cries

I wanna be the one who makes you smile again, I'd do whatever it takes

 

Chorus:

Yes I'd rather cry instead of letting you cry oh let me shed those tears for you tonight

And I'd rather be the one who gets hurt instead, if you'd never be in pain again

 

When there's someone you love

More than your heart can take

Why does it feel so strange

When you love someone that way

 

Bridge:

This is a song for you

Oh I'm singing for you

This is a song for you

Oh I'm singing for you

 

I hope you hear this song someday

 

Chorus:

Cause I'd rather cry instead of letting you cry oh let me shed those tears for you tonight

And I'd rather be the one who gets hurt instead of you, it hurts more the other way

 

When there's someone you love

More than your heart can take

Why does it feel so strange

When you love someone that way
