Grown Man Cry

Lyrics

We're standing on the threshold
 Of a decent conversation
 When I can hear the door slam
 I know the face your making
 And I really want to talk to you
 I really really wanted to
 But once you get you 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 scaning 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've learned my lesson now
 And you're not the one I'm turning to
 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
 ♪
 You're standing on the corner
 And you 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 grown man cross his arms and sit
 As if the whole world would end
 If he was not a part of it
 But at the same time with the confidence
 Never realizing the same time with no confidence
 He's having on the ones he loves
 Because he thinks he can make no difference
 We are standing on the threshold
 Of a decent conversation
 When I can hear the door slam
 I know the face your 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
