Crywank are a three-piece DIY folk band from Manchester, England. They focus mostly on sad songs.
Crywank started in 2009 with James Clayton attempting to do some folk-punk influenced acoustic music with no previous experience playing guitar. The first album "James is going to die soon" was inspired by a painful break up. James stated that "I wrote these songs out of frustration and sadness and they ended up making me feel a lot better, I hope they have a similar effect on you".

[Verse 1] G When we first met we always wanted to have sex G But now we just watch DVD boxsets C Wasting time together so we're not alone G When I say I love you I really mean "don't leave me" G As long as you stay I don't care if you believe me C Let's deal with this companionship just to make things easy
[Chorus] GC Don't really know you, only what you've shown me GC Just let me own you, and you can own me G This is nothing more than a love affair with ourselves CDG Stick around for the sake of my mental health
[Verse 2] G We can pretend like we're happy, pretend like we're good G And other can envy our boundless love G We will laugh because we tricked them C We will laugh because we suck G Endorphins are fading the rush has died down G And convenience and loneliness keeps both of us around C We will turn off our brains when the other makes a sound
[Verse 3] GC World sees us as a pair, butI don't really care GC You're my status, so I will keep you there G We'd run away for someone more attractive in our lives G But in the meantime we'll decorate each others sides
[Bridge] GDC Love is fucking stupid and I hate you GDC Love, love is fucking stupid and I hate you
[Chorus] GC Don't really know you, only what you've shown me GC Just let me own you, and you can own me GC This is nothing more than a love affair with ourselves GCG Stick around for the sake of my mental health
