You're not laughing

It's not so easy now to get your smile

You gotta be strong

To walk these streets

And keep from falling

But when you're not, just let yourself cry

You've been working hard

Just trying to pay the rent

Tryin' to draw the line between who you are and who you invent

But if you throw a stone

Something's gonna shatter somewhere

We're all so fragile

We're all so scared

You say you wanna learn how to live your life without tears

But we've been trying to do that for thousands of years

So go on and cry Ophelia

It's the only thing to do sometimes

You know I'm crying too

Right there with you

It's alright Ophelia

Everybody cries

Thank god for my bad memory

I've forgotten some of the stupid things that I've done

I've come to a little wisdom through a whole lot of failure

So I watch more carefully what rolls off my tongue

You pray for rain

But you don't want it from a storm

You find a rose

And cut your finger on a thorn

So go on and cry Ophelia

It's the only thing to do sometimes

You know I'm crying too

Right there with you

It's alright Ophelia

Everybody cries Ophelia
