Lyrics
I'll Cry Instead
Words and Music by Simon Darveau
Don't walk away
Please watch the rest of me
I'd be in trouble if you'd dare
I wouldn't stick around for sympathy
I'd cry instead
But if you leave
Please take this piece with you
'cause no one else would see it through
I'd never finish up this symphony
I'd cry instead
I'd weep my head
Hey I've lost my place
Can't see your face
Was I that loud
You shut me out
You're miles away
Can't hear you play
My beating heart
Is where I'll start
Does it really matter much to you
Who's being in control
Well this really shouldn't have to be
' don't want the leading role
Don't walk away
Please watch the rest of me
I'll be in trouble if you'd dare
I will not stick around for sympathy
I'll cry instead
And if you leave
Please take this piece with you
'cause no one else would see it through
I'll never finish up this symphony
I'll cry instead
I'll weep my head
Hey I've lost my place
Can't see your face
Was I that loud
You shut me out
You're miles away
Can't hear you play
My beating heart
Is where I'll start
Does it really matter much to you
Who's being in control
Well this really shouldn't have to be
' don't want the leading role
Don't walk away
Please watch the rest of me
I'd be in trouble if you'd dare
I wouldn't stick around for sympathy
I'll cry instead
