lyrics

i haven’t cried since i was a kid
not from saying goodbye, not from shutting the lid
on coffins of friends
I made my amends
but the tears just wouldn’t come

crying was always so easy for you
‘cause your skin is so thin, your collar’s so blue
you’ve got all kinds of tears
tears of hunger and fear
can you let me borrow some?

cry, baby, cry
cry, baby, cry
cry, cause I can’t remember how

i haven’t cried since i was a kid
and someone saw what i was, someone found what i hid
since i dried up inside, since the kid in me died
and disappeared beneath the waves

you were as guilty as i ever was
we’ve got mud on our shoes, we’ve got blood on our gloves
we have secrets to keep, so we bury them deep
and we take them to our graves

cry, baby, cry
cry, baby, cry
cry, cause I can’t remember how
cry, baby, cry
cry, baby, cry
do all my crying for me now

i need to borrow all your shame
from all those heartless schoolyard names
i’m tired of my cool disguise
i wanna try yours on for size
so don’t dry your eyes
don’t dry your eyes

cry, baby, cry
cry, baby, cry
cry, cause I can’t remember how
cry, baby, cry
cry, baby, cry
do all my crying for me now

i haven’t cried since I was a kid
and taught myself to get by, told myself to get rid
of that irrational part, so I smothered my heart
and forgot how to forgive
