And Jesus wept,
So why can't I?
My father told me,
'Hallie, it does you no good to cry.'
But I want to,

I want to let the tears spill from my eyes,
Feel the salt on my cheek as they dry,
Because living is a sad business sometimes,
And I feel better when I let it out,

I want to cry like I want to scream and shout,
Like I want to lay my heart out,
In the middle of a four lane highway,
Cause if I'm gonna go out I'm gonna go out my way,
Screaming, and crying,

I get so tired of trying,
But I haven't stopped yet,
And in a life where I find pleasure in crying,
I think that's the best I'm gonna get,

Jesus wept,
And so will I,
And so will you,
Sometimes,
It feels good to cry.
