boys don't cry (feat. Pannik)

(Ooh) It was hopeless Didn't notice We were lost and afraid We hide all our gold in towers of stone With all of our struggles and shame I was bluffing There was nothing In the world I could do And I tried to be true and follow the rules But ended up suffering too You don't look at me You won't look in my eyes (Ah) You can't look at me As you tell me your lies We don't hurt, we don't grieve We were taught to believe That boys don't cry So I wipe my tears away Ooh Tried to fight it To ignite it Burn it all to the ground But safety was never a thing that I ever thought I'd have to seek to be found Am I perfect? Is it worth it? All the pain I endure To shape me into whoever you choose When I never needed a cure You don't look at me You won't look in my eyes (Ah) You can't look at me As you tell me your lies We don't hurt, we don't grieve We were taught to believe That boys don't cry But we don't know why Is it blood that we bleed? The heart was born to feel But boys don't cry So I wipe my tears away We are not broken We are bold Building our lives on the lies we were told Spying and dying and crying for help from above (Woah-oh) We are not children We are men Thieving and leaving and playing pretend Taking and breaking and making a mess of this love (Ah-oh) (Woah-oh)
