Make Me Cry

It does no good to have a head full of thoughts

If you don't know what they are

And they're all lost and stuffed in drawers

And they bleed down into your heart

Then give you the strangest aches

And it's so frustrating to hurt

And not know why you're in pain

So if you made me cry, I wouldn't be angry

I'd halfway laugh and say thanks

I can feel them running through me now

All those restless thoughts

All those emotions that were lost

And if I got to cry, I'd be so happy

To feel again and not feel angry pain

To feel alive and hate every breath

To walk on two feet and not on broken hands

If you made me cry

But you won't make me cry

'Cause that's mean and it hurts you

And that's not what I want

I want to see you smiling

So I'll keep my mouth shut

And keep my thoughts lost

I'll find a way to find them

To make them all bleed out

I'll do it without burdening you

I'll never make a sound

So if you see me cry

Don't try to make it stop

Let me have me tears

They're washing out the cracks

And my heart will stop complaining

That it can't choose what to feel

My now empty head will sigh with relief

At my tear-filled eyes

'Cause really, it's a blessing

Being able to cry

Don't take that away from me

It's what will make me smile
