Grown Man Cry Lyrics - Amanda Palmer

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
