14. It Will Rain – Bruno Mars
• If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of
medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.

15. • There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my leaves are on the
floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm
makin'
Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walkin' out the door.

16. • Cause there'll be no more sunlight
if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds,
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain, rain, rain

17. • But they're just afraid of something they
can't understand
Oooh well little darlin' watch me change
their minds
Yea for you I'll try I'll try I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm
bleeding
That'll make you mine
