Lyrics for 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 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 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 That you've already gone away Misjudged your limit 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
