Okay it was a good year
Damn near best in a while
Felt like things were casting upward
Felt I finally earned my smile
I suppose I was just waltzing
On a slowly stirring cloud
While you were storming underneath me
Rolling thunder in yr brow
And I mumbled certain things
Screamed and sauntered in the wings
But I would have given you near everything
If you said
It's okay to stop talking
Let yourself be sad
I'm just glad
You're sad around me
It's okay to start crying
Let yourself be sad
I'm just glad
You're sad around me
You're sad around me
Never wanted to be angry
But I let you see a side
Where a bitter awful feeling
Hunkered down in me inside
So I shit-talked all my rivals
Even if they had no clue
Who I was or what the deal was
You just let me sort it through
So I hurried all my words
Confused feelings in a blur
But I'da given you my whole damn world
If you said
It's okay to stop talking
Let yourself be sad
I'm just glad
You're sad around me
It's okay to start crying
Let yourself be sad
I'm just glad
You're sad around me
You're sad around me
If you're out there only feeling
That I brought my worst to you
That my over-domineering
Pissy heartworn attitude
Was a product of my raising
Was all insecurity
Please just understand you living
Brought the best parts out of me
I wish I could let you go
But I hold your memory close
Please just know I'd give you everything I own
If you said
It's okay to stop talking
Let yourself be sad
I'm just glad
You're sad around me
It's okay to start crying
Let yourself be sad
I'm just glad
You're sad around me
You're sad around me
You're sad around me
I'm just glad
You're sad around me
