Boys Don't Cry lyrics

I know thoughts you don't want in your head
Are spinning 'round, 'round, 'round
I know you got demons from the past
Slowing you down, down, down
But you don't answer your FaceTime
You never had much of a poker face
It doesn't make you less of a man
You're just human right now
When I'm afraid of the world and every part of me hurts
You don't know how many times you've saved me
So why you hiding from me? It's only making it worse
I just wanna be close, my baby
Give me your pain
I'll take the weight off your shoulders
Don't be afraid
Fall into me, let me hold you
We weren't made
To hold back the rain from the sky
Who ever told you that boys don't cry, boys don't cry?
Hate it when you shut me out
Acting like it's your shit to figure out
Don't wanna be touched, don't wanna discuss
I get it, I just
Now I'm in my head about what's in your head
Come back to bed, can we talk about it?
It's not stupid, it's not drama
It's just trauma turned to armour
Keeping you from me, no performing
If you love me, come and touch me, yeah
When I'm afraid of the world and every part of me hurts
You don't know how many times you've saved me
So why you hiding from me? It's only making it worse
I just wanna be close, my baby
Give me your pain
I'll take the weight off your shoulders
Don't be afraid
Fall into me, let me hold you
We weren't made
To hold back the rain from the sky
Yeah, who ever told you that boys don't cry, boys don't cry?
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah
Boys don't cry, boys don't cry
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah
Boys don't cry, boys don't cry
Come, my baby, lay your head on me
Lay your head on me, lay your head on me
Come, my baby, lay your head on me
Lay your head on me, lay your head on me (you know I got ya)
Come, my baby, lay your head on me (and you know I'd do anything for ya)
Lay your head on me, lay your head on me
Come, my baby, lay your head on me
Lay your head on me, lay your head on me
Give me your pain
I'll take the weight off your shoulders
Don't be afraid
Fall into me, let me hold you
We weren't made
To hold back the rain from the sky
Who ever told you that boys don't cry, boys don't cry?
Ooh-oh
Boys don't cry, boys don't cry
