Boys Don`t Cry

They call me tough, built out of stone, Cracked composure, playing with problems like they're my own See me passing through the glass no ripples in my skin, Every room hums, voices pour but nobody asks where I begin I laugh it off, given a nickname colder than the floor, Stone cheeks, listening never once someone asking what I’m clinging to anymore Underneath all drums, I feel the kick heartbeat unspoken, Faces circle, always taking never once broken open You talk about rain, I count the drops against my jaw, Swallowed everything, but scared to pour out what I saw BOYS DON’T, BOYS DON’T CRY Slip through the teeth, let the dark slide BOYS DON’T (DON’T) CRY EVEN IF I WANNA ...!!! Collect their sermons, pocket their dumb advice All these medals for holding back, never once get a prize Tired hands, counting from the inside, Yet every word they spill slides past the fences I provide, lie Leaning back, stare at that blank ceiling, Sweat beads glide, and I wait for the feeling could I be healing? Behind locked lips, not a drop of emotion, No light, just a pulse and thoughts about to explode If you asked me, I’d break, you know I might But nobody ever sees my bluff when I say I'm alright BOYS DON’T, BOYS DON’T CRY Slip through the teeth, let the dark slide BOYS DON’T (DON’T) CRY EVEN IF I WANNA ...!!! BOYS DON’T, BOYS DON’T CRY Slip through the teeth, let the dark slide BOYS DON’T (DON’T) CRY EVEN IF I WANNA ...!!!
