"Boys Do Cry" lyrics

I grew up thinking that boys couldn't cry
Oh well, that was a lie

Covered up feelings with whiskey and fights
Just like one of the guys

I've been walking through life with my eyes closed
Follow the rules like my shadow
Heart beating right through my blouse

Don't need to lie lie lie lie anymore
I swear that boys do cry when we're alone
When we're alone

Holding it in, don't make you stronger
Or like your father

Oh, boys do cry, but we don't let it show

Made you feel smaller so I could be tough
Oh no that wasn't right

Wanna paint my nails colors without feeling judged
Who made pink a crime

They said just be a man, like it's easy
R.I.P, bury your feelings
When it hurts rub it in dirt
In dirt

Don't need to lie lie lie lie anymore
I swear that boys do cry when we're alone
When we're alone

Holding it in, don't make you stronger
Or like your father

Oh, boys do cry, but we don't let it show

Don't need to lie lie lie lie anymore
Lie anymore
Oh, boys do cry, but we don't let it show
We don't let it show
We don't let it show
We don't let it show
