Bass: June Youngblood
Drums: Emilia Moscoso Borja
Sax: Amanda Campos

Lyrics:
I want a space to cry
I want a space to cry
I want a space to cry in, to lie in, not die
I want a space to cry
I want a space to cry
I want a space to cry in, to lie in, not die

As I walk alone
I know my body is my home
And even though I repeat it many times in one day
There's something in my head that says

I don't have space to cry
I don't have space to cry
I don't have space to cry in, to lie in, not die
I want a space to cry
I want a space to cry
I want a space to cry in, to lie in, not die

When I sit smiling
Doesn't mean that I can't be sad
Doesn't mean that I'm lying
It just means that you can't always understand

That I want space to cry
I want a space to cry
I want a space to cry in, to lie in, not die

I want space now
I want the space I had
I want space now
I want the space I had
I want space to cry
I want space to cry
I want space to cry
I want space to cry
I want a space to cry
I want a space to cry
I want a space to cry in, to lie in, not die

I love watching you sing, you always put your heart into it so much 💜 The lyrics of this one resonate with me. I've had that feeling a lot lately when everything becomes too much to deal with and you feel like crying might bring relief, but with everything going on around you and all the things that need to be taken care of it just seems like there's no time or space for it. Thank you for sharing!
