Simon James - Boys Don't Cry Lyrics

Boys don't cry
Don't you know baby
Boys don't cry
Sing a song for me and I'll sing one for you
About a little boy that I once knew
If you asked him he would tell you that he liked the color blue
That it reminds him of the sky and all the things that he could do
He had hopes, he had dream, with endless possibilities
From flying to the Moon or Mars to playing for the soccer team
It's crazy how the world can be so mean
And program kids to never be emotional like they're machines
Don't get caught up in your head
I know that it's easier said
There might be angels all around you
But boys don't cry
So make sure you wipe those glistening eyes
I'm only saying what I've been told so many times
Oh, don't you know it's true that boys don't cry
And now that little blue boy is a man
Can't get his shit together though he's doing all that he can
The night shift never appealed but in the morning he can't stand
The landlord chasing him around like a coked up stan
Now he'll watch the Moon rise
Till it reach the top of the sky
Praying for the first time since he got baptized
In his mind his life's behind him though he's only 25
They told him cheer up man
You can't be sad when you're alive
Don't get caught up in your head
I know that it's easier said
There might be angels all around you
But boys don't cry
So make sure you wipe those glistening eyes
I'm only saying what I've been told so many times
Oh, don't you know it's true that boys don't cry
There might be angels all around you (Angels all around you)
But boys don't cry
So make sure you wipe those glistening eyes (Wipe those tears)
I'm only saying what I've been told so many times (Don't you know baby)
Oh, don't you know it's true that boys don't cry
