Men don't cry

(Verse 1)

They say that crying's for the weak,

For women, kids, those who can't speak.

A man should hide, emotions deep,

Like bottled notes lost at sea's keep.

(Chorus)

But if a tear escapes his eye,

Excuses spun, beneath the sky.

His bros will mock, the moment bare,

And vulnerability they'll never share.

(Verse 2)

It's fine for her to feel and show,

But he must play a stoic role.

Fists clenched tight, tears held inside,

Better angry than where emotions hide.

(Chorus)

But if a tear escapes his eye,

Excuses spun, beneath the sky.

His bros will mock, the moment bare,

And vulnerability they'll never share.

(Bridge)

He fears the flood, the dam will break,

Destroy the self for goodness sake.

Emotions caged, a dangerous game,

Far from the reach of masculine fame.

(Chorus)

But if a tear escapes his eye,

Excuses spun, beneath the sky.

His bros will mock, the moment bare,

And vulnerability they'll never share.

(Outro)

'Cause men shouldn't cry,' society says,

In silent pain, through endless days.
