The Cure ‧ 1979

Boys Don't Cry

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 tried to laugh about it

Cover it all up with lies

I tried 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

And you've already gone away


Misjudged your limits

Pushed you too far

Took you for granted

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
