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 k**
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 d**h
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 pa**ion 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
