if boys cried

(When I say no, and I'm drawing the line)

(That's when boys cry, boys cry)

Sittin' on the black top, one case, two kids in the parking lot

We were getting close to openin' up, but you were far from soberin' up

You wanna be a rock star, I lied, I'd rather be a pop star, ooh

Afraid of all the love you could lose, that's the deepest thing I think you could do

You're wishing I'd stop talking, so I can coddle

All your pain and pass you another bottle

Couldn't see that it stinged through the buzz

You would never have noticed because

If boys cried, you would've seen the tears

Inside of my eyes, you would've had the guts, but

Everybody knows that you'd rather not feel things

Only stick around when the going gets easy

If boys cried, your father would've showed you

That it's alright to let somebody know you

I think you'd think twice and save me a lifetime

If boys cried, if boys cried

Don't give me that look, the boy who cried wolf

Your signal has cheapened

I should call your bluff, when you call it love

'Cause I call it treason

You're wishing I'd stop talking so I can coddle

All your pain and pass you another bottle

Couldn't see that it stinged through the buzz

You would never have noticed because

If boys cried, you would've seen the tears

Inside of my eyes, you would've had the guts, but

Everybody knows that you'd rather not feel things

Only stick around when the going gets easy

If boys cried, your father would've showed you

That it's alright to let somebody know you

I think you'd think twice and save me a lifetime

If boys cried, if boys cried

It's not your fault you can't cry to me

You've got your walls, but the irony is

When I say no and I'm drawing the line

That's when boys cry, boys cry

Lost me once and you kicked it to full throttle

Called me up, always drunk off a couple bottles

Couldn't see that it stinged through the buzz

You would never have noticed because

If boys cried, you would've seen the tears

Inside of my eyes, you would've had the guts, but

Everybody knows that you'd rather not feel things

Only stick around when the going gets easy

If boys cried, your father would've showed you

That it's alright to let somebody know you

I think you'd think twice and save me a lifetime

If boys cried, if boys cried

It's not your fault you can't cry to me

You've got your walls, but the irony is

When I say no and I'm drawing the line

That's when boys cry, boys cry
