I would say I'm sorry, if I thought that it would change your mind.

But, I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind.

I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies.

I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes.

'Cause boys don't cry.

Boys don't cry.

I would break down at your feet, and beg forgiveness, plead with you.

But, I know it's too late, and now there's nothing I can do.

So, I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies.

I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes.

'Cause boys don't cry.

Boys don't cry.

I would tell you that I loved you, if I thought that you would stay.

But, I know that it's no use, that you've already gone away.

Misjudge your limits, pushed you too far.

Took you for granted, I thought that you needed me more, more more.

Now, I would do most anything to get you back by my side.

But, I just keep on laughing, hiding the tears in my eyes.

'Cause boys don't cry.

Boys don't cry.
