Boys Don’t Cry

Wish I knew you were lonely, but here we are
Stuck in the nightmare, not waking up
Doesn't feel real yet here we are
Wish I could hold you and numb the pain
But when I got close you step away
You only find peace in the sweet escape (sweet escape)

If only I could have share the thoughts running through your mind
See the signs before we have ran out of time
And I know you think that all the tattoos on your skin
Would protect you from let it anybody in
I would've been listening
I wish you told me you that were hurt that bad
But you were never really good at that
Did you think I wouldn't understand
That the heart can only take so much
'Cuz I know you tried your best instead
Couldn't reach you when you lost your way
A million doctors couldn't treat this pain
That the heart can only take so much

Lookin' so strong hangin' by a thread
Boys don't cry, no they die instead
And the mask came off when it was too late
And you were beautiful in every way
I keep thinking about if it would have been the same
If everybody didn't know your name
I would've been listening (and)
I wish you told me you were hurt that bad
But you were never really good at that
Did you think I wouldn't understand
That the heart can only take so much
'Cuz I know you tried your best instead
Couldn't reach you when you lost your way
A million doctors couldn't treat this pain
That the heart can only take so much

I wish you told me you were hurt that bad
But you were never really good at that
Did you think I wouldn't understand
That the heart can only take so much
I know you tried your best instead
Couldn't reach you when you lost your way
A million doctors couldn't treat this pain
'Cuz the heart can only take so much
