[Verse 1] Big hands, borrowed suit Hold the room like a wall You don’t tell them where it hurts You just stand up tall Heavy steps, straight face Keep the cracks out of sight But I know what you hide When the door shuts tight [Pre-Chorus] You can lean on me You can set it down You don’t have to be The hardest in the town [Chorus] Big men cry Big men cry Soft heart, hard shell That’s how you survive Big men cry Big men cry Little boy still lives Behind those eyes [Verse 2] You laugh it off at dinner Say you’re fine, say you’re good But I see the kid in you Wanting safety like he should A scraped-up knee, a held-back tear A name you never said You learned to love with fists up high And sleep with one eye open instead [Pre-Chorus] You can lean on me You can let it show No one stays strong By never letting go [Chorus] Big men cry Big men cry Soft heart, hard shell That’s how you survive Big men cry Big men cry Little boy still lives Behind those eyes [Bridge] So if your voice breaks Let it break on mine If your armor shakes Baby, that’s a sign You were never cold You were just scarred Even thunder needs Somewhere to fall apart [Final Chorus] Big men cry Big men cry Soft heart, hard shell That’s how you survive Big men cry Big men cry Little boy still lives Behind those eyes Big men cry Big men cry And I’ll stay right here When the tears arrive
