So, it's how the story goes
And we come to the scene where I'm holding you close
She moves, moves like a thin dulling blade
Cuts, all the words that I said
The only difference is,
The only difference is,
The truth --
The truth is I miss you

Cry on demand
How'd you learn to?
Cry on demand
Teach me if you want to
Though you don't have to
I just close my eyes and think of you

Real Real like a plastic bouquet
That 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 and 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
I take back everything I said
She can't hurt me, and I can't hurt you
It's like were already dead
Cry on demand
Why would you want to?
Cry on demand
Teach me if you want to
Though you don't have to
I just close my eyes and think of you
