What good is that happy lie All you wanted from the start was to cry It looks like another fall Your good friends they don't seem to help at all When you're feeling kind of cold and small Just look up your rainy day man It does you no good to pretend child You've made a hole much too big to mend And it looks like you lose again, my friend Call on your rainy day man Now rainy day man he don't like sunshine He don't chase rainbows He don't need good times Grey days rolling Then you'll see him Empty feeling Now you need him All those noble thoughts they just don't belong You can't hide the truth with a happy song And since you knew where you stood all along Just look up your rainy day man Now simple pleasures they all evade you Store-bought treasures none can save you Look for signs to ease the pain Ask again Go on and pray for rain It looks like another fall Your good friends they don't seem to help at all When you're feeling kind of cold and small Just look up your rainy day man All I need to do is look up my rainy day man Now what good is that happy lie All you wanted from the start was to cry
