After You Cry
THE ANXIETY Lyrics

If you saw me, would you want me?
Would you desire me if our paths crossed?

If you're lonely, would you call me?
Do you come to me when you need comfort and companionship?

Will you treat me so appalling?
Are you going to hurt me badly?

Baby, you can hit me
You have permission to harm me.

Later right after you cry
But only after you have released your emotions.

I've got a hundred million things
I have so many things to attend to,

I gotta square away
I need to get everything in order.

I ain't slept in like a week
I have not slept for almost a week now.

I ain't prepared today
I am not in the right condition to face the day's challenges.

And on top of it there's
Aside from that,

Ash inside my air today
The air is dusty today,

And I speak before I think I do it carelessly
I tend to say things impulsively and thoughtlessly,

Do you really wanna be something? (Do you?)
Do you have a strong aspiration for something?

Do you ever think of me sometimes?
Do I ever cross your mind?

Do you ever even see the Suns when they
Do you have time to appreciate things like the sunrise,

Pass in your bed after you cry?
Which coincidentally, happens to take place in your bed after you release your emotions?

(After you cry)
This event only happens when you have had an emotional outburst.

If you love me, if you hate me
Whether you feel affection or disdain towards me,

Yeah, I know I it won't change me
I am aware that it will not alter who I am as a person.

I'm the only one that is
I am the only person who will,

Around when you call
Come running whenever you reach out to me.

You're the only one that is
You are the only person who,

Around when I fall
Tries to support me whenever I am in distress.

Are you seeing anything about what
Do you notice any changes or progress happening between us?

We've been through at all? After you cry
This only happens though, after moments of emotional vulnerability and honesty.

(After you cry-y-y-y-y, After you cry)
This event only occurs after you have released your emotions.

Oh, oh (After you cry-y-y-y-y)
This event is not always guaranteed and can only occur under specific conditions.

Oh, oh (After you cry-y-y-y-y)
It is an important moment in our relationship, though.

Oh, after you cry oh, after you cry
The only time I can allow you to hurt me is after you have gone through an emotional ordeal.

Oh, after you cry oh, after you cry
Otherwise, I need to prioritize my well-being and safety.

Oh, after you cry oh, after you cry
But if it can help you heal, I am willing to endure the pain.
