If I had just one tear runnin' 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,
It would be well spent. Yeah....

Chorus:
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 in those lies.
They'd be all you'd ever find.
That'd be all you'll have to know for me to be fine. Yeah...

Chorus:
And you'd cry a little, die just a little.
And maybe I'll 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....whimper would be fine.
Some kind of clue that you're doing time.
Some kind of heartache, honey, give it a try.. I don't want pity
I just want what is mine. Yeah.

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....could you cry a little for me?
yeah...cry...a little....for me.
