Boys Can Cry - Meg & Dia

Takes the anger out on another

Or is all the screaming just in his head

God, this feeling hurts like a mother

He’ll push it down into the pit of his chest

He’s got troubles

He don’t show it

'til the ocean’s

Overflowing

We’ve got old rules

We don’t buy 'em

Now our voices

Can’t stay silent

Why’s it so hard getting it right?

Boys can cry

Girls can fight

Don’t get stuck believing the hype

Boys can cry

Girls can fight

Knows what she wants, but keeps it quiet

Bites her tongue so she don’t scare them away

Rolls up her sleeves only in hiding

Builds her strength because she’s hoping for change

Her desire

They won’t hear it

She’s got fire

Won’t go near it

Why’s it so hard getting it right?

Boys can cry

Girls can fight

Don’t get stuck believing the hype

Boys can cry

Girls can fight

What’s gonna change their minds?

It’ll take some time, won’t happen overnight

We’re gonna change their minds

Leave it all behind, won’t happen overnight

Why’s it so hard getting it right?

Boys can cry

Girls can fight

Don’t get stuck believing the hype

Boys can cry

Girls can fight
