Don't Cry

Hearing the screams of my mother yell
Looking at dad grab his leather belt
Holding the tears back in my eyes
'Cause he told me that men don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
Men don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

Standing up straight and doing as I'm told
Ringing in my ears all controlled
I look like a girl, so he's cutting my hair
I got to make sure I don't embarrass him here

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
Men don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

I patiently waited 'til I turned 18
Then bought a gun and put my daddy to sleep
Watching the tears roll from his eyes
Whispered to him that men don't cry

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight
