The Stigma (Boys Don’t Cry)

I see a pain behind your eyes

I know you feel it every day

It's like a light that slowly dies

But it's better not to say

It's better not to say such things out loud

Just close your eyes and bite your tongue for now

Don't let them see you fall

Stay strong, hold on

You gotta keep it together now

Just dry your eyes 'cause boys don't cry

No, no

Boys don't cry

No, no

'Cause boys don't cry

You feel an emptiness inside

How it sinks into your soul

But it's nothing you can't hide

Just forget about the hole

Beneath your skin

Swallowing the best of you within

Don't let them see you fall

Stay strong, hold on

You got to keep it together now

Just dry your eyes 'cause boys don't cry

No, no

'Cause boys don't cry

No, no

'Cause boys don't cry

Keep it all inside

'Cause boys don't cry

Are those tears behind your eyes?

Nuh-uh, no

Boys don't cry

Keep it all inside

Inside, nah, 'cause boys don't cry

Not until the fateful day you die

No, 'cause boys don't cry

(No, no)

(Boys don't cry)

(No, no)

'Cause boys don't cry

Stay strong, hold on

You gotta keep it together now

Just dry your eyes 'cause boys don't cry

No-oh, no-oh

'Cause boys don't cry

No-oh, no-oh

'Cause boys don't cry

'Cause boys don't cry

'Cause boys don't cry
