[Chorus]
Does God cry when it rains?
Do angels still feel pain?
Will you always love me this way?
Will you always love me the same?
[Verse 1]
I can feel the weather change when you sleep (When you sleep)
Do you dream of her when you're next to me?
Sometimes I'm scared that you're gonna leave (Please don't leave)
'Cause I'm used to having my sky go bleak
[Chorus]
Does God cry when it rains?
Do angels still feel pain?
Will you always love me this way?
Will you always love me the same?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I want you to hold me, hold me, oh, like I'm holy
Need me, need me, get on your knees
Save me, save me, forever your baby
Promise, promise you'll never leave
[Verse 2]
I love the sugar-coated truth (Ah)
I'll be whoever you want me to
I keep my head in the clouds, I do
Baby, don't go bringing me down so soon
[Chorus]
Does God cry when it rains?
Do angels still feel pain?
Will you always love me this way?
Will you always love me the same?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I want you to hold me, hold me, oh, like I'm holy
Need me, need me, get on your knees
Save me, save me, forever your baby
Promise, promise you'll never leave
