lyrics

Lime green Wheels
Silver blur down hill 
Slow mo' crash on the road
Had to drag myself all the way back home
Mama said
Dry your eyes, boys don't cry
Blood drip down my knee
Tears drip down my cheek

Put the tears away in a bottle
Hide It all away
Under where you keep the rage
Put the tears away in a bottle
Hide It all away
Under where you keep the rage

Boys don't cry
Don't feel yourself 
Or ask for help 
Boys Don't Cry 
Keep your walls up 
Don't drop your guard

She zoomed up the driveway
She said
"Why you just standing there" with tears in her eyes 
Blank face, blank stare

Stuck in my box I hand her a tissue
Boxed in trapped  with my own 
Issues drains clogged I don't know what to do but 
Kiss you hug you tell you

Put the tears away in a bottle
Hide It all away
Under where you keep the rage
Put the tears away in a bottle
Hide It all away
Under where you keep the rage

Boys don't cry
Don't feel yourself 
Or ask for help 
Boys Don't Cry 
Keep your walls up 
Don't drop your guard

How do you feel
How do you feel
Crying is the rawest form of any emotion
How do you feel
How do you feel
To cry is to feel

Boys should cry
Let the water flow, that's how flowers grow
That's how you feel alive
Baby, you should cry
Boys should cry
To feel
To heal
To real
Boys should cry
