Boys Do Cry Lyrics by Dylan Matthew

2022

[Verse 1]
I grew up thinking that boys couldn't cry
Oh, well, that was a lie
I covered up feelings with whiskey and fights
Just like one of the guys

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

[Chorus]
I don't need to lie, lie, lie, lie anymore
'Cause I swear that boys do cry when we're alone
When we're alone
Holding it in, it don't make you stronger
Or like your father
Oh, boys do cry, but we don't let it show

[Verse 2]
Made you feel smallеr so I could be tough
Oh no, that wasn't right
I wanna paint my nails colors without feeling judged
Who made pink a crimе?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
Don't need to lie, lie, lie, lie anymore
'Cause I swear that boys do cry when we're alone
When we're alone
Holding it in, it don't make you stronger
Or like your father
Oh, boys do cry, but we don't let it show

[Outro]
Don't need to lie, lie, lie, lie anymore
Lie, 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
