Boys Don’t Cry Lyrics by Brandon Agustus

Days of Wasted Youth

2020

[Intro]
So turn it up it’s been a long night and I’ve been drinking
Cause lately I’ve been in my feelings
And I’ll do anything to just stop thinking
Ohohohoh
So turn it up here goes another shitty song about trauma
Cause everybody’s got real problems
But were we ever given tools to solve ‘em?
[Verse 1]
I was raised without emotions so I don’t feel a thing
Even though the little boy in me is suffering
It’s okay, I’ll be fine
This whiskey’s hitting my gut just right
I build walls to keep them out because I don’t have a heart
Even though deep down I’m nothing but a house of cards
But I’m okay, why would I need help?
There’s no need to express myself
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause sticks and stones may kill my vibe
But you will never see a tear fall from these eyes
Cause no matter what comes my way
I’m the academy award winner for faking a smile
[Chorus]
Boys don’t cry when they hurt
We just pretend we’re okay
Even though that makes it worse
Boys don’t cry when they hurt
And sometimes it feels like a curse
Boys don’t cry when they hurt
We’re taught to mask how we feel
Pain is a privilege reserved for the girls, oh yeah
So boys don’t cry when they hurt
And it’s the saddest thing in the world
[Verse 2]
I was raised to think that weakness isn’t in my DNA
Even though I’m a prisoner to the harsh truth reality throws my way
But it’s cool, it’s no big deal who really needs empathy anyway?
Cause boys will be boys you know
Skin so thick with a stone cold soul
Everyone’s a sucker for the hero, putting on the greatest show
But they never ask what’s really going on below oh
[Chorus]
Boys don’t cry when they hurt
We just pretend we’re okay
Even though that makes it worse
Boys don’t cry when they hurt
And sometimes it feels like a curse
Boys don’t cry when they hurt
We’re taught to mask how we feel
Pain is a privilege reserved for the girls, oh yeah
So boys don’t cry when they hurt
And it’s the saddest thing in the world
[Bridge]
The weight of the world is on my ego
I wish this stigma wasn’t lethal
Cause I’m broken like you wouldn’t believe
If fear could kill I’d be deceased
I wish chromosomes didn’t define my being
It’s hard always having to be so strong
When all you wanna do is just let go
Bottled up trauma is the key
To fragile masculinity
We could all use a little therapy, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Boys don’t cry when they hurt
We just pretend we’re okay
Even though that makes it worse
Boys don’t cry when they hurt
And sometimes it feels like a curse
Boys don’t cry when they hurt
We’re taught to mask how we feel
Pain is a privilege reserved for the girls, oh yeah
So boys don’t cry when they hurt
And it’s the saddest thing in the world
It’s the saddest thing in the world
It’s the saddest thing in the world
Boys don’t cry and it’s the saddest thing
[Outro]
Would it be okay if I cried just a little?
Would you judge me if I cried just a little?
Cause I’m afraid to cry just a little so I hide just a little and die just a little inside
