Trying to Cry

I've seen it in the mirror
But he'll find, he can't give in
That I've seen so many times in the past
But something's gone, maybe forever
Remember what your mother said, "Never be a man, if you do"
Then we try to make amends

Now he's trying to cry
When we realize we've lost ourselves

You remember what your brother said
Maybe a lover just left

Remember what your brother said, "I'll tell the whole class if I see you"
You remember what your mother said
You remember what your brother said

Remember what your brother said, "I'll tell the whole class if I see you"
You remember what your mother said
Maybe someone is dying
Remember what your mother said, "Never be a man, if you do"
Then he'll try to let the feelings show
See the guy in the corner
From something that they can't cure yet
Maybe a lover is cheating
Now he's trying to cry

Putting out another cigarette
There's a look in his eye
Now he's trying to cry

And it's something that he can't forget
Now he's trying to cry

And I've seen it in my friends
And the room will start to spin
He'll drink another two or three
