why can't i cry ? - pappajohness lyrics
[verse 1]
they told me “man up,” when i was just ten
said “don’t be so soft,” again and again
i learned how to laugh with a break in my voice
swallowed my pain like i had no choice
[pre*chorus 1]
but some nights i’m drowning in silence
wishing i could scream in defiance
is it wrong to feel this deep?
would i be less if i let it leak?
[chorus]
why can’t i cry without shame in my eyes?
why do i flinch when the hurt tries to rise?
why do i hide when i’m breaking inside?
if i bleed like you, then why must i lie?
why can’t i be emotional…
why can’t i cry?
[verse 2]
i see girls with tears get a shoulder to lean
but i gеt called “weak” for the samе d*mn thing
i hold back floods behind a fake grin
if i let them out, do i still win?
[pre*chorus 2]
i’m tired of acting like i’m made of stone
(made of stone)
when all i want is to feel and be known
(to be known”)
is it too much to ask to be seen
(or to hide)
for the soul underneath this skin?
(yeah, yeah…)
[chorus]
why can’t i cry without shame in my eyes?
(why can’t i cry?)
why do i flinch when the hurt tries to rise?
(try to rise)
why do i hide when i’m breaking inside?
(breaking… inside…)
if i bleed like you, then why must i lie?
(tell me why, yeah!)
why can’t i be emotional…
why can’t i cry?
(aaah * ooooh)
[bridge]
if boys don’t cry, then how do we heal? (how do we heal?)
if tears are weak, then what’s truly real? (say it louder!)
if strength means silence, then i want out (i want out!)
let me speak my heart, let me scream, let me shout
let me shout it out!
[final chorus]
why can’t i cry like the rain in the sky? (cry… sky…)
why must i choke on the tears that i fight? (i’m choking, i’m choking…)
why do i break where n0body sees? (n0body sees… yeah…)
just to be “man” enough for your beliefs (your beliefs… uh*huh…)
why can’t i be emotional…
why can’t i cry?
[outro]
why can’t i cry…
why can’t i cry…
cry…
without losing pride?
let me cry… just one time…
