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
