[Verse 1]

She bites her nails as she waits for the train (Uh huh)

You won't look up because you know she's insane (That's right)

And if you touch her she'll shout through the tears

She'll pull your hair and scream in your ears

[Pre-Chorus 1]

"The meaning it goes away sometimes

I know all the words but they don't seem to rhyme

Sometimes all I can do is lie,"

She says as the water pours from her eyes

[Chorus 1]

You can't

Make me cry

You can try you can try

But you can't

Make me cry

You can try you can try

But you can't

Make me cry

You can try you can try

But you can't

Make me cry

You can try you can try

[Verse 2]

"Bloody nose and a broken tooth

Black and blue all over you,"

You say as you walk her to the bus

You're beat enough for the two of us

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You'll go over under and backwards now

The only things you want are what you're not allowed

The people trying to bring you down

Are the only ones who want you around

[Chorus 2]

But they can't

Make you cry

They can try they can try

But they can't

Make you cry

They can try they can try

But they can't

Make you cry

They can try they can try

But they can't

Make you cry

They can try they can try
