Boys Don't Cry

Aaron Viera Kelly

I know it's hard
To be open with your heart
Even though that we're different
I can't tell we won't fall apart

I can't tell the difference
If it's love or just my fault
It's just my heart playing tricks on me
Cause I'm desperate as fuck

Couldn't tell the difference
Even if I tried, even if I tried

So, why do we say
Boys don't cry,
Boys don't cry
So, why do I feel this pain inside
And I can't cry,

Not a tear down my face
No, I tried, oh no, I tried
So, why do we say
Boys don't cry,
boys don't cry

I've been taught to hide my feelings away
Why the fuck should I open up if
You're gonna leave me anyway

So, why do we say
Boys don't cry, boys don't cry
So, why do I feel this pain inside
And I can't cry,

Not a tear to my face
No, I tried,
No, I tried

So, why do we say
Boys don't cry,
Boys don't cry

Why should I have to hide the way that I feel
Growing up, where it's said it's unnatural to shed a tear
If I could hide and lock away my fears

They look at me as if I've got nothing to say
They tell me I should be lock up away
They scream and shout while I'm just trying to get away

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

So, why do we say
Boys don't cry,
Boys don't cry
So, why do I feel this pain inside
And I can't cry,

Not a tear down my face
No, I tried,
No, I tried
So, why do we say
Boys don't cry,
Boys don't cry
Oh, mmm
