[Intro: Quiet, delicate fingerpicked acoustic guitar]
(Mmm, mmm)
(My words on paper...)
(Listen close now)
[Verse 1]
You said, "It’s ok, you can cry on me booboo," without realizing a single thing
What I really wanna cry about is you and all the subtle pain that you bring
Knowing all I am to you is just a temporary outlet, nothing more, nothing less
Sitting alone in this quiet kitchen, trying to clear out the emotional mess
Never once regretting us, but you went and held on to it all so tight
Jealous of everyone around my side, leaving me fading away in the night
[Pre-Chorus: Gentle acoustic strumming, soft cello enters]
And I never wanted to covet something you were simply not able to give
When all I want is your heart, your soul, the life we were supposed to live
Your mind, your thoughts, everything you locked away from my view
Yeah, the hardest part of standing at this crossroads is you... (It's you)
[Percussion Kick: Soft foot-stomp and acoustic rhythm opens up]
[Chorus: Heartfelt passionate belt with warm harmonies]
You said, "It’s ok, you can cry on me booboo," and cry I should do! (Cry I should do!)
When I feel worthless, with my self-worth standing on the line because of you
And I’ve worked so damn hard to come to love myself through the strain
But you’ve gotten under my skin, leaving me stuck inside the pain!
All I want to do is breathe you in, but my mind is telling me to take flight
My mind is fighting me, asking me to take flight tonight!
[Post-Chorus: Sweet acoustic guitar melody]
Cry, cry, cry, yeah, that’s what I’ll do
Meaningless rants, just randomness losing you
Nothing more, nothing less, watching the light fade away
[Verse 2]
I’ve felt more alive, awoken for the first time in a long, long while
But you never saw my tears after the first time I lost my smile
Not even after the second and the third time when you withdrew
Saying you messed up, running from the only truth you knew
Now my words on paper used to mean the absolute most to me
But I can never tell you so, locked away where you can't see
[Bridge: Building rustic energy, multi-layered harmonies]
I still try so hard to radiate joy when the room feels cold
Even when my light is dimming and the story stays untold
When I feel so small, I somehow still can’t get you out of my mind
My rants, my randomness, it’s all meaningless to your ear
Just static in the background of a connection you used to hold dear!
[Chorus: Maximum emotional folk intensity]
You said, "It’s ok, you can cry on me booboo," and cry I should do! (Cry I should do!)
When I feel worthless, with my self-worth standing on the line because of you
But you’ve gotten under my skin, leaving me stuck inside the pain!
All I want to do is breathe you in, but my mind is telling me to take flight!
[Outro: Guitar slows back down to a gentle pluck, strings fade]
Meaningless rants.
Randomness in the dark.
My light is dimming.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
(Cry, cry, cry...)
[Fade Out]
[End]
