Cry On Demand - Ryan Adams

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

The 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

No you don’t have to

Just close my eyes

And think of you
