Any Other Way

There's that broken smile
I've seen it before
The one that caught me out
On the stair by the stage door
Creases in your gown
I wouldn't want to see
Your glory watered down
With perfection

Watch me take a dive
Into your hopes and fears
There's always a surprise
At the river bed of tears
I'll take you as you come
Even on your darkest day
I wouldn't want it, wouldn't want it

Any other way
Any other way
Wouldn't wanna see
You feel the need to be
Any other way

Hanging from your neck
Is a pendant sun
It beams at your command
Til you deem the day undone
Sighs like crunching waves
Send me crashing through the bay
I wouldn't want it, wouldn't want it

Any other way
Any other way
Wouldn't wanna see
You feel the need to be
Any other way

But when you cry
It rains down on me
When you cry
It rains down on me

Underneath your frown
Sheltered from the rain
I can take my rest
Darling I can share your pain
You can just be you
Every minute, every day
I wouldn't want it, wouldn't want it

Any other way
Any other way
Wouldn't wanna see
You feel the need to be
Any other way

But when you cry
It rains down on me
When you cry
It rains down on me
