Boys Can Cry

Takes the anger out on another
Or is all the screaming just in his head
God, this feeling hurts like a mother
He'll push it down into the pit of his chest
He's got troubles
He don't show it
Till the ocean's
Overflowing
We've got old rules
We don't buy 'em
Now our voices
Can't stay silent

Why's it so hard getting it right?
Boys can cry
Girls can fight
Don't get stuck believing the hype
Boys can cry
Girls can fight

Knows what she wants but keeps it quiet
Bites her tongue so she don't scare them away
Rolls up her sleeves only in hiding
Builds her strength because she's hoping for change
Her desire
They won't hear it
She's got fire
Won't go near it

Why's it so hard getting it right?
Boys can cry
Girls can fight
Don't get stuck believing the hype
Boys can cry
Girls can fight

What's gonna change their minds
It'll take some time, won't happen overnight
We're gonna change their minds
Leave it all behind, won't happen overnight

Why's it so hard getting it right?
Boys can cry
Girls can fight
Don't get stuck believing the hype
Boys can cry
Girls can fight
