[Verse 1]
They told me that my tears were like diamonds
That they would make me rich one day
If you let them loose, you'll be golden
So don’t ever be ashamed
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "Let them run down your cheeks
Let them see what's underneath your skin"
It's not a sign that you’re weak
It's the proof that you are real within
[Chorus]
You can cry
Yeah, you can cry
You can cry
Yeah, you can cry
[Verse 2]
They told me that my love was like poison
'Cause I always give too much
See it on my face, disappointment
The here we go again, I'm crushed
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "Let them run down your cheeks
Let them see what's underneath your skin"
It's not a sign that you're weak
It's the proof that you are real within
[Chorus]
You can cry
Yeah, you can cry
You can cry
Yeah, you can cry
[Bridge]
I don’t care
If you see me tensin’ up my face
First argument, a different place
Man, am I ashamed
So I don't care
If they wanna look at me that way
Said, "We all have these days"
Give me a break, give me a break
[Chorus]
You can cry (You can cry)
Yeah, you can cry (You can cry)
You can cry (You can cry)
Yeah, you can cry (You can cry)
