Cry (if you want to)

[silversolitaire]

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 meIt'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 shipYou can cry if you want toDon'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 insaneYou can cry if you want toWell, 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 phoneYou can cry if you want toYou 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 careYou can cry if you want toWell, 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 funYou can cry if you want toWell, 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 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 to cheer you up
I'll just be here if you want me to be near you

I wish somebody'd say this to me...

i don't imagine you're friendless but if you want another person to talk to, i've been told i'm a good listener...
