Cry (If You Want To)

Cry if you want

I won't tell you not to

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 can weep you can sleep you can loosen your grip

You can frown you can drown and go down with the ship

You cry if you want to

Don't ever apologize venting your pain

Its 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 than to do it alone

I'll draw all the curtains and unplug the phone

You can cry if you want

You can stare at the ceiling and tear at your hair

Swallow your feelings and stagger and swear

You could show things and throw things and I wouldn't care

You can cry if you want to

I won't make fun of you

I won't tell any one

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

Well it's empty and ugly and terribly sad

I can't feel what you feel but I no it feel bad

I no that its 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 and cheer you up

Ill just be here if you want me; to be

Near you
