Cry if you want to
|
I won't tell you not to
|
I won't try to cheer you up
|
I'll just be here if you want me
|
|
There's no use in keeping a stiff upper lip
|
You can weep you can sleep you can loosen your grip
|
You can frown you can drown and go down with the ship
|
You can cry if you want you
|
|
Don't ever apologize venting your pain
|
It's something to me you don't need to explain
|
I don't need to know why I don't think it's insane
|
You can cry if you want to
|
|
The windows are closed the neighbors aren't home
|
If it's better with me then to do it alone
|
I'll draw all the curtains and unplug the phone
|
You can cry if you want to
|
|
You can stare at the ceiling tear at your hair
|
Swallow your feelings and stagger and swear
|
You can show things and throw things and I wouldn't care
|
You can cry if you want to
|
|
No I won't make fun of you I won't tell anyone
|
I won't analyze what you do or you should have done
|
I won't advise you to go and have fun
|
You can cry if you want to
|
|
when it's empty and ugly and terribly sad
|
I can't feel what you feel but I know it feels bad
|
I know that it's real and it makes you so mad
|
You can cry
|
|
Cry if you want to
|
I won't tell you not to
|
I won't try to cheer you up
|
I'll just be here if you want me to be near you
|
