i've watched my grandfather cry
i spoke at his funeral
had plenty of friends suicide
melancholy is not unusual
but none of it brings me to tears
maybe i am immune
maybe there's something wrong with me
maybe i'm just being rude
i want to cry
i don't know how
my father never taught me
but i can drink a beer
throw a punch
grit my teeth
and kick a footy
i once got dumped on my birthday
i watch the news every night
i've been angry
i've been anxious
and i've been in pain
i've said a lot of goodbyes
but none of it brings me to tears
maybe i am immune
maybe there's something wrong with me
maybe i'm just being rude
i want to cry
but i don't know how
my father never taught me
but i can drink a beer
throw a punch
grit my teeth
and kick a footy
i can drive a manual
and i can grow a moustache
i can change a tyre
i've been in plenty of scraps
i can lift heavy stuff
i can ride a bike
i can chop onions
i only cut my face shaving sometimes
and i can tie a tie
and i can tie a tie
i just can't fucking cry
i just can't fucking cry
i want to cry
but i don't know how
my father never taught me
but i can drink a beer
throw a punch
grit my teeth
and kick a footy
i want to cry
but i don't know how
my father never taught me
but i can drink a beer
throw a punch
grit my teeth
and kick a footy
