Cry Ophelia

Somethin' went wrong, you're not laughing

It's not so easy now to get you to smile

You gotta be strong to walk these streets and keep from falling

And when you're not, just let yourself cry

You've been workin' hard just tryna pay the rent

Tryna draw the line between who you are and who you invent

But if you throw a stone, something's gonna shatter somewhere

We're all so fragile, we're all so scared

Say you wanna learn how to live your life without tears

But we've been tryna do that for thousands of years

So go on and cry Ophelia

It's the only thing to do sometimes

You know I'm crying too, right there with you

It's all right, Ophelia, everybody cries

Now me, I thank God for my bad memory

I've forgotten some of the stupid things that I've done

I've come to a little wisdom through a whole lot of failure

So I watch more carefully what rolls off my tongue

You pray for rain, but you don't want it from a storm

Yeah, you, you find a rose and cut your finger on a thorn

So go on and cry Ophelia

It's the only thing to do sometimes

You know I'm crying too, right there with you

It's all right, Ophelia, everybody cries, Ophelia

It's the perfect thing to do sometimes

You know I'm crying too, right there with you

It's all right, Ophelia, everybody cries, Ophelia

Cry Ophelia

I'm crying too right there with you (Cry Ophelia)

It's all right, Ophelia, everybody cries
