Boys Can Cry

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
 Till 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, oh-oh
 We're gonna change their minds
 Leave it all behind, won't happen overnight, oh-oh
 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
