Cry (If You Want To)

Cry if you want to

I won't tell you not too

I won't try to cheer you up

I'll just be here if you want me

It's no use in keeping a stiff upper lip

You could weep, you could sleep, you could loosen your grip

You could frown, you could drown and go down with the ship

You can cry if you want to

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

Well, the windows are closed

And the neighbors aren't home

If it's better with me than 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

And tear at your hair

Swallow your feelings and stagger and swear

Show things and throw things and I wouldn't care

You can cry if you want to

Well, I won't make fun of you

I won't tell anyone

I won't analyze

What you do or what you should've done

I won't advise you to go and have fun

You can cry if you want to

Well, it's empty and it's ugly and it's terribly sad

I can't feel what you feel

But I know it feels bad

I know it is real and it makes you so mad

You could 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
