You Can Cry

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

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"

You can cry
Yeah, you can cry
You can cry
Yeah, you can cry

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"

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"

You can cry
Yeah, you can cry
You can cry
Yeah, you can cry

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"

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)
