The Stigma (Boys Don't Cry)

(album: The Great Depression - 2018)

I see a pain behind your eyes
I know you feel it everyday
It's like a light that slowly dies
But it's better not to say
It's better not to say such things out loud
Just close your eyes and bite your tongue for now
Don't let them see you fall

Stay strong, hold on
You've got to keep it together now
Just dry your eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
No, no, 'cause boys don't cry
No, no, 'cause boys don't cry

You feel an emptiness inside
How it sinks into your soul
But it's nothing you can't hide;
Just forget about the hole beneath your skin
That's swallowing the best of you within
Don't let them see you fall

Stay strong, hold on
You've got to keep it together now
Just dry your eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
No, no, 'cause boys don't cry
No, no, 'cause boys don't cry

Keep it all inside, 'cause boys don't cry
Are those tears behind your eyes?
No-ah no, boys don't cry
Keep it all inside, inside
No, 'cause boys don't cry
Not until the fateful day you die
No, 'cause boys don't cry

No, no, boys don't cry
'Cause boys don't cry

Stay strong, hold on
You've got to keep it together now
Just dry your eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
No, no, 'cause boys don't cry
No, no, 'cause boys don't cry

'Cause boys don't cry
'Cause boys don't cry
