Cry If You Want to

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 not 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
to.
Don’t ever apologize for 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 you’re insane. You can cry if you want
to.
Chorus:
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 start 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.
Chorus
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.
