I need attention it`s long overdue
There may be nothing anyone can do
So I sit here insane on the floor
And I make up my mind who to kill
And just to hone this desperation
I think I`ve caught a chill

I need attention but no one wants to hear
A tiny heartbeat filling me with fear
Oh it`s a matter of life or death
But I wish it wasn`t up to me
So no soft words please save your breath
Because I haven`t got the energy

Save your tears for this life inside

I can`t cry
I can`t cry she said

I need affection it`s becoming an emergency
A lonely passion is all that`s left for me
Oh spare me the "Straight from the heart"
God knows who`s to blame
We will spill this innocent blood
Because it hasn`t got a name

Say your prayers for this life inside

I can`t cry
I can`t cry she said
Cry
Cry

I`m learning reason
I`m learning patience
And I know what I`m made of
It`s just a case of another switch off
I could spit in the face of love

I can`t cry
I can`t cry she said
Cry
Cry
Please cry
Cry
Please cry
