[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
The only difference is
The only difference is
Truth
The truth is I miss you

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
The only difference is
The only difference is
Nobody can cry
It's hard to do
For most folks
Without a reason why

[Chorus]
Cry on demand
How'd you learn to
Cry on demand
Why would you want to

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
