It's funny but I can't laugh
It's so sad but I can't cry
But it doesn't mean
There's nothing left inside
I got some nasty scars
To prove what I been through
I guess it's safe to say
That I'm nothing like you
When your smile is your best kept secret
But when you smile they say girl just keep it
Desperate for change but things never change
[Chorus]
So I'd rather stand in the rain
Though its pouring down on me
It's washing all my pain away
Oh I'd rather stand in the rain
It is pouring down on me
But it's washing all the pain
Washing all my pain away
The waters rising high
It over takes my life
And I am saturated, I am
Won't let it drown me
'cause hopes got me floating
Behind the clouds a rain
Awaits for me
When your smile is your best kept secret
But when you smile they say girl just keep it
Your desperate for a change but things never change
So I'd rather stand in the rain
It is pouring down on me
But it's washing all my pain away
So I'd rather stand in the rain
It is pouring down on me
But it's washing all my pain
Washing all my pain away
Away, away, away, away
Pain away, pain away away
Pain is gone
(it's raining)
Pain is gone
(it's raining)
Pain is gone
(it's raining)
Because it's raining on me (it's raining)
Oh
(it's raining)
I know that its raining
(it's raining)
Raining my pain away
(it's raining)
Raining my stress away
(it's raining)
Oh raining
(it's raining)
Oh
(it's raining)
Oh
(it's raining)
Raining my pain away
(it's raining)
Oh
(it's raining)
I can feel the rain
(it's raining)
Washing my pain away
(it's raining)
And washing my fears away
Your smile is your best kept secret
But when you smile they say girl just keep it
Your desperate for a change but things never change
Oh I'd rather stand in the rain
