Cry If I wanna 2
[Intro- Soft electric guitar picking, light vinyl crackle ] [Verse 1] You know I love you when I hate you I hate you when you leave I pull you close to break you Then blame it all on me I text you, “Don’t come over” Then open up the door You say, “Girl, this ain’t healthy” I say, “Healthy’s such a bore” Got my eyeliner running But my mouth still sharp You say I play too dirty But you dealt the cards I’m champagne with a warning Sweet kiss with a knife I’ll ruin your whole evening Then ask you for a ride [Pre-Hook Vocals become smoother, stacked harmonies, overlapping harmonies ] Lead: Put your hands on my waist Tell me I’m your mistake Say you’re done, but you stay Don’t act brand new [ Harmony 1: ] Place your hand in mine I’ll leave when I wanna [ Harmony 2:] It’s my birthday [Counter Harmony:] And I’ll cry if I wanna [Lead:] If love is a game Then I’m changing the rules You can call me insane But you love crazy too [Hook - Big guitars, crashing drums, stacked harmonies, overlapping harmonies, catchy pop-punk chant feel ] I’ll cry if I wanna, wanna, wanna Dance in the fire till the morning comes I’ll lie if I gotta, gotta, gotta Say I don’t love you with your name on my tongue You hate when I’m toxic But you love when I’m honest Boy, pick your poison tonight I’ll cry if I wanna, wanna, wanna It’s my party, my pain, my fight Background Harmonies: Place your hand in mine I’ll leave when I wanna [Counter Harmony:] It’s my birthday And I’ll cry if I wanna [Verse 2] You brought me roses at midnight I threw them on the floor Then cried when you stopped trying Like, “You don’t care no more?” I know I’m hard to handle I know I’m hard to hold I kiss you like an angel Then turn my halo cold You say, “Why you always testing?” I say, “Why you always fail?” You say, “Love shouldn’t feel like prison” I say, “Then why you love the cell?” I’m not proud of the damage But I wear it so well I’m a heaven-sent habit With a first-class ticket to hell [Pre-Hook 2 - Guitars drop slightly, bass and claps push the groove] [Lead:] Put your hands on my waist Tell me I’m your mistake Say you’re done, but you stay Don’t act brand new [ over lapping Harmony 1:] Place your hand in mine I’ll leave when I wanna [overlapping melody:] It’s my birthday Counter Harmony: And I’ll cry if I wanna [Lead:] If love is a game Then I’m changing the rules You can call me insane But you love crazy too [Bridge / Breakdown Everything cuts except passionate live drums. Heavy kick Just drums] Lead: I know I cut deep I know I pull strings I know I say leave Then hate when you leave I know I want love But I dress it in war I know I’m the storm But you keep asking for more [Drums build harder] I’m not the girl that you fix I’m the match in the dark I’m the bruise that you kiss I’m the break in your heart And you know it You know it You know it You know it So don’t call me dangerous When you love the spark [ Background Vocals fading:] Place your hand in mine… It’s my birthday… I’ll cry if I wanna… I’ll cry if I wanna…
