Amanda Palmer & The Grand Thft Orchestra - Grown Man Cry lyrics

rate me

We are standing on the threshold

Of a decent conversation

When I can hear the door slam

I know the face you're making

And I really want to talk to you

I really, really wanted to

But once you get your mind made up

There is no getting through to you

For a while it was touching

For a while it was challenging

Before it became typical

And now it really isn't interesting

To see a grown man cry

To see a grown man cry

I'm lying on the sofa and the radio is blaring

And I'm scanning through the stations as the boys declare their feelings

But it doesn't feel like feelings

It feels like they're pretending

It's like they just want blowjobs

And they know these songs will get them

And I really want to talk to you

I really, really wanted to

But i have learned my lesson now

And you’re not the one I'm turning to

And for a while it was touching

For a while it was challenging

Before it got habitual

And now it really isn't interesting

To see a grown man cry

To see a grown man cry

I was the first to warn you

I lay myself before you

I was the first to warn you

I put myself before you

We are standing on the corner

And you're throwing down the gauntlet

It is not a life decision

We just need to pick a restaurant

After all this, I should know you

Well enough not to get into it

I should learn, but I'm an idiot

You only want an argument

And for a while it was touching

It was almost even comforting

Before it became typical

And now it really is not interesting

To see a grown man cry

To see a grown man cry

To see a grown man throw a temper fit

To see a grown man cross his arms

And sit as if the whole wide world would end

If he was not a part of it

But at the same time with no confidence

Never realizing the consequence he's having

On the ones he loves

Because he thinks he makes no difference

We are standing on the threshold

Of a decent conversation

When I can hear the door slam

I know the face you're making

And I really want to talk to you

I really, really wanted to

But this time, I am giving up

I am simply giving up on you
