"And she dies every night with her face on the news.
Nobody cries, they just smoke and stare and their shoes"
I think Ryan's inspiration for this song, like most off of Demolition, was his girlfriend, Carrie Hamilton, who died of cancer in 2002. When she died, it was on the news and that is where the above quoted lyric comes from, she died everytime he saw it on the news, but nobody else watching the news cried. The rest of the song I think is just about her ability to act and literally cry on demand.
