Lyrics

Cry

I don't cry

Or forget

I'll cut my picture on your heart

No names

You've got one more game to lose

I was young

I was clean

But now my soul eats me alive

I was kind

Now I'm your first big mistake

Don't leave

What'ya gonna do?

Are you gonna break down and cry?

She sold pain

She sold mine

She sold my secret to the man

She sold lies

And so now I break the word

Don't leave

What'ya gonna do?

Are you gonna break down and cry?

Tear up my picture

Tear up my face

You'll tear up your feelings but the memory's quite safe

Look back in anger

Look back and cry

Look up my number if you want to know why

Don't leave

What'ya gonna do?

Are you gonna break down and cry?

Same need

Same cure

I'll whisper words to ease your shame

Play time

I've got one more trick for you

I don't pray

Wrong man

I don't look for love that I don't need

Wrong place

You've got one more chance to leave
