"Cry Like A Man" lyrics

"Cry Like A Man"

I cut my teeth on a
Piece of bitter, low-hanging fruit
The loudest one in the room
Has always got something to prove
Suckers to cynics
But they don't wanna choose

You'll never see me at my worst
Hit me where it hurts
First things first
You better swallow all your hurt
Oh Lord
Another lesson learned

I got a cocaine kiss
And a cherry Silverado
Linger in the stench of worn out bravado
No. We digging up old bones

We stay fucked-up
'Til the sun came up
Just to catch a glimpse of
The morning rush
I know it's rough
But it gets the job done
I'll make it easy on you now

No time for tears
Boy you never stood a chance
No I never learned
To lay down on a losing hand
Come on teach me how to
Love, teach me how to
Cry like a man

Teach me how to
Love, teach me how to
Cry like a man

Well you suffer in silence
You better keep quiet
Turn a blind eye, but
Keep 'em both dry
Time to let it go
And let you're sleeping dogs lie

All these poison an pills
Are going straight to my head
It's time to separate the
Quick from the dead
You get what you get
And you give, 'til there's nothing left

Well it's hunt or be hunted
I can feel coming
Hit the ground running
Here they coming one by one
We had our time in the sun
I'll make it easy on you now

No time for tears
Boy you never stood a chance
No I never learned
To lay down on a losing hand
Come on teach me how to
Love, teach me how to
Cry like a man

Teach me how to
Love, teach me how to
Cry like a man

Maybe this dog's lost its fight
Maybe I'm just terrified
Of what I'll never find
So tell me when it's time
Try to keep in mind
I see no end in sight

No time for tears
Boy you never stood a chance
No I never learned
To lay down on a losing hand
Come on teach me how to
Love, teach me how to
Cry like a man

Teach me how to
Love, teach me how to
Cry like a man
