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
