"I Can't Cry" lyrics - THE SILENCERS

THE SILENCERS
"I Can't Cry"

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 and 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

Save 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
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
I can't cry, she said

Cry, cry
Cry, cry
Please cry

Cry, cry
Please cry
