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 have said too much, been too unkind
[Chorus]
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hidin' the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
[Verse 2]
I would break down at your feet and beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it's too late and now there's nothing I can do
[Chorus]
So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hidin' the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
[Verse 3]
I would tell you that I loved you if I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use, that you've already gone away
[Bridge]
Misjudged your limit
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more, more, more
[Chorus]
Now I would do most anything to get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughin'
Hidin' the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
