Sad Around Me

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
