Boys don't cry

[Intro] [Verse 1] Hurt me, just try it, If you can handle it. Better lie to me, just a little bit, I want to be deceived. You won't make it worse; load the cartridge. A groan bursts straight from my throat. [Chorus] But boys don't cry; they swallow the lump of insults. Boys don't cry, it's the law, the unyielding law. Boys don't cry; after all, this is a difficult role to play. Bitter ash and alcohol, bitter ash and alcohol. [Verse 2] Your needles pierce deeper still, But I withstand the blow. In a mad dance, flashes swirl; metal sparks fly. Soon the dam will collapse, the sea will rise. I won't let you see this picture. [Chorus x2] But boys don't cry; they swallow the lump of insults. Boys don't cry, it's the law, the unyielding law. Boys don't cry; after all, this is a difficult role to play. Bitter ash and alcohol, bitter ash and alcohol. [Outro: Fade out]
