[Verse 1]
You keep reaching for the blue skies
Trying to live without the gray
But every heart gets caught someday
in a cold front and a hurricane
And I can hold you through the thunder
Stand beside you in the storm
But I can’t stop the clouds from coming
I was never meant for more
[Pre-Chorus]
If happiness is sunshine
baby, what happens when it rains?
If all we are is good weather
how could we survive the pain?
[Chorus]
Don’t make me responsible for your happiness
That’s too heavy for one soul to hold
Love ain’t permanent sunshine
It’s staying when the night gets cold
When the lightning strikes between us
When the floods roll through our lives
Love is more than how we’re feeling
It’s the reason we still try
If happiness is sunshine
what happens when it rains?
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen people chase the bright days
Till the clouds rolled into town
Then suddenly forever vanished
when the highs all burned down
‘Cause butterflies can’t stop winter
And sparks fade out with time
But love puts on its boots and walks
through every storm outside
[Pre-Chorus]
If happiness is sunshine
then storms are guaranteed
And if love can’t live through weather
it was never love to me
[Chorus]
Don’t make me responsible for your happiness
That’s not something I can do
I can hold you when you’re hurting
but I can’t make the sky stay blue
When we’re angry, tired, breaking
when we’re drowning in the waves
Love is choosing one another
even on the darkest days
If happiness is sunshine
what happens when it rains?
[Bridge]
Rain will come
Winds will blow
Some nights we won’t know where to go
But love’s not measured by clear skies above
It’s who still stays when the weather gets rough
[Final Chorus]
So don’t make me responsible for your happiness
Don’t hand me the power of the sun
Love was never meant to save us
from every storm that comes
It’s sitting close in silence
while the whole world shakes
If happiness is sunshine
love’s the house that weather makes
Yeah, happiness is sunshine
But love survives the rain
[Outro]
The rain’s gonna come
The clouds will roll in
Some days we’ll feel lost again
But if you’re looking for perfect skies above
That isn’t love
That isn’t love
