I Can't Cry Lyrics

I need attention it's long overdue
There may be nothing anyone can do
So I sit here insane on the floor
And I make up my mind who to kill
And just to hone this desperation
I think I've caught a chill

I need attention but no one wants to hear
A tiny heartbeat filling me with fear
Oh it's a matter of life or death
But I wish it wasn't up to me
So no soft words please save your breath
Because I haven't got the energy

Save your tears for this life inside

I can't cry
I can't cry she said

I need affection it's becoming an emergency
A lonely passion is all that's left for me
Oh spare me the "Straight from the heart"
God knows who's to blame
We will spill this innocent blood
Because it hasn't got a name

Say your prayers for this life inside

I can't cry
I can't cry she said
Cry
Cry

I'm learning reason
I'm learning patience
And I know what I'm made of
It's just a case of another switch off
I could spit in the face of love

I can't cry
I can't cry she said
Cry
Cry
Please cry
Cry
Please cry
