lyrics

you cry when you’re happy, and you cry when you’re sad
the same when it’s good as you cry off the bad
now you’re looking at me, white knuckling your tea
there’s a rose by the window, it sways in the breeze

I find myself scanning through the words in my mind
for something to say that won’t make the tears fly
but the crack in my voice says that I have no choice
while the rain hits the window it drowns out the noise

beauty and pain is like sunshine and rain
can’t have one without the other
it’s hard to be your lover

we swam in the oceans, now I’m alone in this creek
with an eye for the sorrow and a heart that won’t let be
it’s a burden to carry—a thorn on the vine
well if love is in sunshine then the shadow is mine

beauty and pain is like sunshine and rain
you can’t have one without the other
it was hard to be your lover

it’s been 42 days and I think I should call
so I pick up the phone to see if I’m still scarred
by the beauty of love and the truth of its cost
and the rose by the window, its petals all lost

beauty and pain is like sunshine and rain
can’t have one without the other
it was hard to be your lover
