Trying To Cry Lyrics - Joe Jackson

See the guy in the corner 

The one who's drinking another glass 

There's a look in his eye 

That I've seen so many times in the past 

I've seen it in the mirror 

And I've seen it in my friends 

When we realize we've lost ourselves 

And we try to make amends 

He'll drink another two or three 

And the room will start to spin 

Then he'll try to let the feelings show 

But he'll find he can't give in 

You remember what your brother said 

Remember what your brother said 

"I'll tell the whole class if I see you" 

You remember what your mother said 

Remember what your mother said 

"Never be a man if you do" 

See the guy in the corner 

Putting out another cigarette 

Maybe someone is dying 

From something that they can't cure yet 

Maybe a lover is cheating 

Maybe a lover just left 

But somethings gone, maybe forever 

And it's something that he can't forget 

You remember what your brother said
