lyrics

I saw a girl and she was crying
It wasn’t hard to tell, cause she wasn’t trying
To fight the tears, and she wasn’t hiding herself away
She was standing there, proud and daring
I walked up to her and I couldn’t help staring
I said can I help, she said thank you for caring, but I’m OK

I’m just having a good cry, thank you very much
I’m having a good cry, and even if you watch
I will not try to stop, or cover my eyes
And I will certainly not apologize
For having a good cry, for my puffy face
For having a good cry, in a public space
For letting it flow instead of building a dam
So thank you, but no, I’m fine cause I am
Having a good cry

Another girl was always smiling
For the world, a little darling
In control, a princess charming, brave and strong
Life is perfect, everything’s all right
My golden armor shines so bright
Just holding seven seas inside ‘cause big girls don’t…

It’s nothing, I’ve been chopping onions
It’s nothing, just a fly in my eye
I’m awfully sorry for the inconvenience
It’s my allergies, that’s all there is
I’ll see you later, bye


I saw a girl and she was crying
It wasn’t hard to tell, cause she wasn’t trying
To fight the tears, and she wasn’t hiding herself away
She was one of a kind, but I sometimes still hear her
Voice in my mind, it sounds so clear
It says you could find me in the mirror (in the mirror), so how about today

The world will go on turning
It’s just common sense
So if your eyes are burning
Just tell your audience

I’m just having a good cry, thank you very much
I’m having a good cry, and even if you watch
I will not try to stop, or cover my eyes
And I will certainly not apologize
For having a good cry, for my puffy face
For having a good cry, in a public space
For letting it flow instead of building a dam
So thank you, but no, I’m fine cause I am
Having a good cry, you know what, it’s allowed
I’m having a good cry, for crying out loud
There is no better time, there’s no better place
Than right here and now, whatever it takes, I’m
Having a good cry
