If I had just one tear running down your cheek Maybe I could cope maybe I'd get some sleep If I had just one moment at your expense Maybe all my misery would be well spent Could you cry a little? Lie just a little? Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain? I gave, now I'm wanting something in return So cry just a little for me If your love could be caged, honey I would hold the key And conceal it underneath the pile of lies you handed me And you'd hunt and those lies, they'd be all you'd ever find That'd be all you'd have to know for me to be fine, yeah And you'd cry a little You'd die just a little And baby I would feel just a little less pain I gave, now I'm wanting something in return So cry just a little for me Give it up baby I hear you're doing fine Nothing's gonna save me I can see it in your eyes Some kind of heartache Honey, give it a try I don't want pity I just want what is mine Could you cry a little? Lie just a little? Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain? I gave, now I'm wanting something in return So cry just a little for me Yeah Cry just a little for me Whoa whoa Could you cry a little for me?
