Let Me Cry

I sit alone by the lamppost

Trying to find a thought that's escaped my mind

I says "Mom's the one I love the most

But Dad's not far behind,"

I never let her in
Only tell her where I've been
When I've had too much to drink
I say that I don't care
I just run my hand through my long hair
Then I pray to God
"You gotta help me fly away."
And just
Let me cry
If the tears fall down like rain
Let me sing
If it eases all my pain
Let me go
Let me walk right out of here
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let me be
Let me be
This morning I woke up alone
Left a note standing by the phone
Saying "Maybe, maybe I'll be back someday"
I wanted to look for you
You walked in, I didn't know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a drink
and felt sorry for myself saying
Let me cry
If the tears fall down like rain
Let me sing
If it eases all my pain
Let me go
Let me walk right out of here
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let me be
Let me be
Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I could not believe
I was the same girl she needed so very long ago
I went in the back to get high
I sat down on my couch and cried, yelling
"Oh, mama, please help me!"
Won't you hold my hand and
Let me cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let me sing

If it eases all my pain

Let me go

Let me walk right out of here

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let me be

Let me be
