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 to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes

'Cause
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

'Cause
Boys don't cry
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

You're still doing it
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more, more, 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

'Cause
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
