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
