Cry On Demand

So, it's how the story goes
Can we cut to the scene where I'm holding you close?
She moves, moves like a pendulum blade
Cut all the words that I say

The only difference is
Only difference is truth
The truth is I miss you

Cry on demand
How'd you learn to?
Cry on demand
Teach me if you want to
No, you don't have to
Just close my eyes
And think of you

Real, real like a plastic bouquet
Thrives on the smoke from an old fireplace
And dies every night with her face on the news
Nobody cries, they just smoke and stare at their shoes

The only difference is
The only difference is
Nobody can cry
It's hard to do
For most folks
Without a reason why

Cry on demand
How'd you learn to?
Cry on demand
Why would you want to?

Just close your eyes and think of me
Take back everything I said
She can't hurt me and I can't hurt you
It's like we're already dead

Cry on demand
Cry on demand
Cry on demand
Why would you want to?

Cry on demand
Teach me if you want to
You know you don't have to
Just close my eyes
I'm thinkin' of you
