It was hopeless
Didn’t notice
We were lost and afraid
We hide all our gold in towers of stone
With all of our struggles and shame
I was bluffing
There was nothing
In the world I could do
And I tried to be true and follow the rules
But ended up suffering too
You don’t look at me
You won’t look in my eyes
You can’t look at me
As you tell me your lies
We don’t hurt, we don’t grieve
We were taught to believe
That boys don’t cry
So I wipe my tears away
Ooh
Tried to fight it
To ignite it
Burn it all to the ground
But safety was never a thing that I ever thought
I’d have to seek to be found
Am I perfect?
Is it worth it?
All the pain I endure
To shape me into whoever you choose
When I never needed a cure
You don’t look at me
You won’t look in my eyes
You can’t look at me
As you tell me your lies
We don’t hurt, we don’t grieve
We were taught to believe
That boys don’t cry
But we don’t know why
Is it blood that we bleed?
The heart was born to feel
But boys don’t cry
So I wipe my tears away
We are not broken
We are bold
Building our lives on the lies we were told
Spying and dying and crying for help from above
We are not children
We are men
Thieving and leaving and playing pretend
Taking and breaking and making a mess of this love
