Lyrics

It's not impossible for me to cry
It's just the hardest thing
I've ever done
And it's a shame, you know
But it's ingrained, you know
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
I can't change
The way you left
All I wanted was to say goodbye
I was scared, you know
And I was mad, you know
But boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
I can try and try
To change your mind
Like one man pulling a train down the line
It takes time, I know
But who has time, you know
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
You can kick and scream
Cause a scene
Take your anger out
On someone else
Steal the car
Race the car
But don't you dare
No, don't you dare cry
And I must admit
All jokes aside
I find some men beautiful
Some girls handsome, and some children wise
And I hope some day
Before I die
I can share the kiss
That brings tears to my eyes
And it's a shame, you know
But it's ingrained, you know
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry, no, no, baby
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry, no
It's not impossible for me to cry
It's just the hardest thing
I've ever done
