Cry if you want
I won't tell you not to
I won't try and 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 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
The windows are closed
The neighbors aren't home
If it's better with me than to do it alone
Il'l 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 stager 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 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
Well, 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 could cry
Cry if you want to I won't tell you not to
I won't try and cheer you up
Il'l just be here if you want me
To be near you
