Cool to Cry is the fourth track on MØ’s third studio album Motordome. On this track MØ sings about the beauty of vulnerability and encouraging her lover to speak about their feelings and let their guard down.
[Chorus]
You hold it in and I don't know why
You keep your feelings on the inside
I think it's cool, I think it's cool to cry
[Verse 1]
You don't need to play down your emotions
You can leave them out in the open
Let your tears flow like a fountain
Like a fountain, fill an ocean up
You don't have to break through your boundaries
Plowin' through the hills and the wild seas
When you're reachable, you excite me
Come on, show me, I will fill your cup
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you worry if I really, really
Knew you, I couldn't carry your heart?
[Chorus]
You hold it in and I don't know why
You keep your feelings on the inside
I think it's cool, I think it's cool to cry
You hold it in and I don't know why
You keep your feelings on the inside
I think it's cool, I think it's cool to cry
[Verse 2]
We live in a world of distractions
Tradin' sanity for some action (For some action)
Close our eyеs to all of the bad things
Turn the bad things and the sad things off
But that's not who wе are to each other
Come let me take the weight off your shoulders
And lean on me when life is a bummer
Such a bummer when it's all too much
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you worry if I really knew you
See through, I couldn't carry your heart?
[Chorus]
You hold it in and I don't know why
You keep your feelings on the inside
I think it's cool, I think it's cool to cry
You hold it in and I don't know why
(You hold it in and I don't know why)
You keep your feelings on the inside
(You keep your feelings on the inside)
I think it's cool, I think it's cool to cry
[Bridge]
I'm not too cool to cry, I'm not too cool to—
I'm not too cool to cry, I'm not too cool to— (No, I'm not, no, I'm not, yeah)
I'm not too cool to cry, I'm not too cool to— (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm not too cool not to cry (Yeah, yeah)
[Outro]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I think it's cool to cry

I wrote this song with my favorite Scandi songwriter dream team: <3 Caroline Ailin, Noonie Bao, Sly, and Linus Wiklund. We were all sitting in Sly’s studio in Copenhagen and having a long deep conversation about the music industry and how to find balance, and I was on a long rant about “…always p...
