When I live I cry, if you don't kill me I'll die. What am I?
Common Wrong Answers
“A baby”
While a baby cries when alive, the riddle specifically refers to something that 'dies' if not 'killed' in a figurative sense, which doesn't apply to a baby.
“A flower”
Flowers may wilt or die without care, but they do not 'cry' in the same sense as a candle melts and produces wax that resembles tears.
“A tree”
Trees do not cry when they are alive, and while they can die if not maintained, they do not melt or produce any liquid that can be interpreted as crying.
