Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I've said too much
Been too unkind
[Verse 2]
Now I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
[Verse 3]
I would break down at your feet
Beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there is nothing I can do
[Verse 4]
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
[Verse 5]
I would tell you that I love you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
You've already gone away
[Verse 6]
Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more
[Verse 7]
Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
They don't cry
Boys don't cry
The boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
