[Verse 1]
He grew up with silence, no one asked how he felt
Told to "man up" anytime his pain was dealt
Watched his father hold in tears, never let 'em fall
So he learned real quick, emotions weren't allowed at all
Loved a woman once, gave her all his trust
She left without a word, like his feelings were dust
But he didn’t break down, just lit another smoke
Kept the pain locked up tight, laughing at his own joke
In the mirror he stared, no tears but his eyes
Told stories of battles, of wounds he hides
[Chorus]
Men got feelings, more than what you see
We get sad, we just don't always let it be
We cry inside, try to hide the mess
But men feel pain — we get depressed
We ain’t stone, we ain’t steel
We hurt, we break, we heal
[Verse 2]
He went to work each day, wore his pride like a mask
No one noticed he was drowning behind every task
Paid the bills, fixed the car, checked the locks at night
But no one asked if he was alright
His boys joked tough, "Don’t be soft, be a man"
But none of them could face the dark when life hit the fan
He kept it all inside, 'cause that’s what men do
Until one night he whispered, “I’m not making it through”
He texted no one, just stared at the phone
Wondering why being a man means suffering alone
[Chorus]
Men got feelings, more than what you see
We get sad, we just don't always let it be
We cry inside, try to hide the mess
But men feel pain — we get depressed
We ain’t stone, we ain’t steel
We hurt, we break, we heal
[Verse 3]
Now he’s older, teaching his son something new
Tells him strength is also knowing what’s hurting you
Hugs him close, says “It’s okay to cry”
“There’s no shame in the tears you try to hide”
He broke the cycle that chained him for years
Turned his silence into words, turned the pain into cheers
He ain’t perfect, but he’s realer than before
A man with a voice, not hiding anymore
So next time you think a man’s always strong
Just know he’s been holding it in all along
[Chorus]
Men got feelings, more than what you see
We get sad, we just don't always let it be
We cry inside, try to hide the mess
But men feel pain — we get depressed
We ain’t stone, we ain’t steel
We hurt, we break, we heal
