If You Wanna Cry

[Verse 1] You smile like it's armor, but your eyes betray the war. Carryin' the silence that no one asks you for. You hold the world together while you're fallin' apart. Swallowin' the thunder buried deep inside your heart. [Pre-Chorus] You're always the shoulder, never the weight. But even strong hearts can break. [Chorus] If you wanna cry, then just cry. You don't have to hide behind a lie. You don't owe the world your quiet pain. Let it fall like midnight rain. If it hurts, let it show. You’re not weak for lettin' go. If you wanna cry, then just cry. It’s alright. [Verse 2] You laugh in all the right places, but your voice shakes at night. Pretendin' peace just to keep the others feelin' right. But who’s holdin' you when the lights go low? You’ve been the light for everyone but your own shadow. [Pre-Chorus] It’s okay to bleed where no one can see. It’s okay to finally speak. [Chorus] If you wanna cry, then just cry. You don’t have to smile just to get by. You don’t have to carry every fear. It’s not selfish to shed a tear. If it’s real, let it fall. You don’t have to fake it all. If you wanna cry, then just cry. It’s alright. [Bridge] Break the dam, let the flood come down. You don’t have to wear that crown. Every king, every queen. Has nights they need to scream. [Final Chorus] If you wanna cry, then just cry. I’ll be here, I won’t ask why. You’re not a burden, you’re not wrong. You’ve been quiet for too long. Let it out, let it be. Tears can set the caged soul free. If you wanna cry, then just cry. Cry with me.
