Crying

What's this salty water streaming down my cheeks?
I guess I must be crying, I guess I must be crying
My eyes are leaking and my body feels so weak
I guess I must be crying, I guess I must be crying

I'm a thinker, not a feeler
I don't deal with issues, I just call my dealer
An emotional iceberg, I pimp my feelings
Got a thick skin, I think it's appealing
I was a clever child, I was never wild
I could remember every phone number that I ever dialed
I was remote but in control
The die was cast, cast myself in a starring role
And I learned how to feign affection
Learned how to kiss babies, every day's an election
Moved in slow-motion, with no emotion
Started story-telling, they were LOL-ing
Started thinking differently, epiphany
I turned into a different me, and thus began the infamy
It's the infant in me, I have fun with bad puns
But sorry, cause the story is a sad one
And they say that tears are not enough
But I'll cry for a woman if she's hot enough
And I'll cry for attention so you will love me
And I'll cry just to mess with your impression of me
And I know it's tempting to call me a sad clown
Cause my mouth tells jokes but my fingers make sad sounds
Call me a drama-queen, I'm fiercer than Jake Shears
I know what it takes to be the Shakespeare of these fake tears

I'm unshakable, 100% control
My heart is cold as the Yukon, it's also black as coal
No, I'm not capable of shedding honest tears
My life is lived like a movie, telling lies is my career

So what's this salty water streaming down my cheeks?
I guess I must be crying, I guess I must be crying
(you don't know)
I guess I must be crying, I guess I must be crying

So I turn on the faucets, sympathy, symphony
You hear violins and massive rumblings of timpani
I started thinking differently, epiphany
I turned into a different me
Thus began the infamy
My lips tremble and my chin quivers
My nose is running, running very fast, my body shivers
If this is crying, I get it now
It hurts, but it feels good, to let it out
The master of deflection, I absorb the tension
Pale is my complexion, my whole jaw clenchin'
I just won't cry and you know why?
I already got bloodshot eyes cause I'm so high

What's this salty water streaming down my cheeks?
I guess I must be crying, I guess I must be crying
