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 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
