Cry If You Want To

Cry (if you want to)
By: holly cole

Cry if you want
I wont tell you not to
I won't try to cheer you up
Ill 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
Ills 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 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
