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 the 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 that 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 okay, if you take one day, by one day
See, 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?
Most of your life can be the way that it was
But, keep hurt inside and it's just like those 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 fall when you don't care no more
But, what about love?
Isn't it worth living for?
You don't know?

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 the 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 they've 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, don't fall honey too far down

Pick yourself up; if you're lost you'll be found
But, if you don't care, you're just too far down
I know you feel so left out; pushed around
But nevertheless, don't go too far down
