Verse
Do you have to be so happy
Every time we meet?
When I feel so bad
I wanna cross the street
Pre-chorus
I don’t need an earful of the dates you’ve had this week
Must you be so cheerful when you kiss me on the cheek?
Chorus
Couldn’t you cry just a little?
Couldn’t you die just a little because you miss me too?
Couldn’t you cry just a little?
Couldn’t you lie just a little and say, “I still love you”
“Just a little”
Verse
Sin in olive skin
Darkness lit my day
Bad fights, little bites
Ate it all away
Pre-chorus
God knows I don’t want you living out a curse
But I’d feel so much better if you felt a little worse
Chorus
Couldn’t you cry just a little?
Couldn’t you die just a little because you miss me too?
Couldn’t you cry just a little?
Couldn’t you lie just a little and say, “I still love you”
“Just a little”
Bridge
Go with my blessing
Never regret
Fall in love but
Not just yet
Chorus
Couldn’t you cry just a little?
Couldn’t you die just a little because you miss me too?
Couldn’t you cry just a little?
Couldn’t you lie just a little and say, “I still love you”
“Just a little”
“Just a little”
