[Intro]
(When I say no and I'm drawing the line)
(That’s when boys cry, boys cry)
[Verse 1]
Sittin' on the black top
One case, two kids in the parking lot
We were getting close to openin' up
But you were far from soberin’ up
You wanna be a rockstar, I lied
I'd rather be a pop star, ooh
Afraid of all the love you could lose
That's the deepest thing I think you could do
[Pre-Chorus]
You're wishing I'd stop talking so I can coddle
All your pain and pass you another bottle
Couldn't see that it stinged through the buzz
You would never have noticed because
[Chorus]
If boys cried, you would've seen the tears
Insidе of my eyes, you would've had thе guts, but
Everybody knows that you’d rather not feel things
Only stick around when the going gets easy
If boys cried, your father would’ve showed you
That it's alright to let somebody know you
I think you’d think twice and save me a lifetime
If boys cried, if boys cried
[Verse 2]
Don't give me that look, the boy who cried wolf
Your signal has cheapened
I should call your bluff when you call it love
'Cause I call it treason
[Pre-Chorus]
You're wishing I’d stop talking so I can coddle
All your pain and pass you another bottle
Couldn't see that it stinged through the buzz
You would never have noticed because
[Chorus]
If boys cried, you would've seen the tears
Inside of my eyes, you would've had the guts, but
Everybody knows that you'd rather not feel things
Only stick around when the going gets easy
If boys cried, your father would've showed you
That it's alright to let somebody know you
I think you'd think twice and save me a lifetime
If boys cried, if boys cried
[Post-Chorus]
It's not your fault you can't cry to me
You've got your walls, but the irony is
When I say no and I'm drawing the line
That's when boys cry, boys cry
[Bridge]
Lost me once and you kicked it to full throttle
Called me up always drunk off a couple bottles
Couldn't see that it stinged through the buzz
You would never have noticed because
[Chorus]
If boys cried, you would've seen the tears
Inside of my eyes, you would've had the guts, but
Everybody knows that you'd rather not feel things
Only stick around when the going gets easy
If boys cried, your father would've showed you
That it's alright to let somebody know you
I think you'd think twice and save me a lifetime
If boys cried, if boys cried
[Post-Chorus]
It's not your fault you can't cry to me
You've got your walls, but the irony is
When I say no and I'm drawing the line
That's when boys cry, boys cry
