Lyrics

Please only cry if you need to
And if you 'bout to lie, check your reasons, see
I don't really mind if he gives you a peace of mind
Is it right for me to say that out loud?
And all along it's in this song I wrote for you
Would you believe I'm insecure? Because that's the truth
Baby, we can not weigh what's in this room, but please
Only cry if you need
If you need, you need, you need, you need
If you 'bout to fall to pieces, bitch, give me a warnin' please
<span begin="1:00.983" end="1:06.434">Even though it's mornin', I'll be here until you fall asleep</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:08.154" end="1:10.627">(Only cry if you need)</span></span>
As I stare at my reflection in the mirror, feelin' see through
Holdin' it together for the world, but I need me too
Talkin' to myself, tears in my eyes, baby, I see you
Just you and me in case you fall to your knees, your knees
Only cry if you need
If you need, you need, you need, you need
If you 'bout to fall to pieces, bitch, give me a warnin' please
Even though it's mornin', I'll be here until you fall asleep
And, yeah, it's fine if you feel the need to keep the way you feel inside
It must be hard to live your life without your piece of mind
I know you seem to think I don't, but yeah, I get I, don't have to tell me twice
<span begin="2:01.559" end="2:04.931">Please only cry if you need to</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:03.573" end="2:06.661">(You can cry)</span></span>
<span begin="2:05.094" end="2:09.465">And if you 'bout to lie, check your reasons, see</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:07.911" end="2:11.237">(What's your reasons, baby?)</span></span>
<span begin="2:09.797" end="2:14.691">I don't really mind if he gives you a peace of mind</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:12.267" end="2:14.728">(No, I don't mind)</span></span>
<span begin="2:14.778" end="2:18.510">Is it right for me to say that out loud?</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:16.966" end="2:21.053">(Is it right for me to say that out loud?)</span></span>
And all along it's in this song I wrote for you
Would you believe I'm insecure? Because that's the truth
Baby, we can not weigh what's in this room, but please
Only cry if you need
