i would say i'm sorry

if i thought that it would change your mind

but i know that this time

i have said too much

been too unkind



i try to laugh about it

cover it all up with lies

i try and laugh about it

hiding the tears in my eyes

because boys don't cry

boys don't cry



i would break down at your feet

and beg forgiveness

plead with you

but i know that it's too late

and now there's nothing i can do



so i try to laugh about it

cover it all up with lies

i try to laugh about it

hiding the tears in my eyes

because boys don't cry



i would tell you

that i loved you

if i thought that you would stay

but i know that it's no use

that you've already

gone away



misjudged your limit

pushed you too far

took you for granted

i thought that you needed me more



now i would do most anything

to get you back by my side

but i just keep on laughing

hiding the tears in my eyes

because boys don't cry

boys don't cry

boys don't cry
