Got some sides you'll never know
Things I handle on my own
Show the highs and hide the lows
That's just how it goes
Been through things you'll never see
I've got some painful memories
Nights that I can barely sleep
But pretend that I'm at peace
Well there's a million things been on my mind
I smile and say I'm doin' fine
Anything to keep it all inside
'Cause real men don't cry
At least that's what we tell ourselves
And hurt the ones who try to help
Wish that we could leave it all behind
The real men don't cry
Let 'em fall in private rooms
Held 'em back in quite a few
After all that I've been through
I'm tryna start anew
This kinda cycle's hard to fight
Broken dads and sons alike
Holdin' all the shame and pride
Trying to survive
With a million things been on my mind
I smile and say I'm doin' fine
Anything to keep it all inside
'Cause real men don't cry
At least that's what we tell ourselves
And hurt the ones who try to help
Wish that we could leave it all behind
The real men don't cry
And you might say that I'm surely mistaken
That showing my emotions is a weakness
That type of thinking makes me wanna cry
A million things been on my mind
I smile and say I'm doin' fine
Anything to keep it all inside
'Cause real men don't cry
At least that's what we tell ourselves
And hurt the ones who try to help
Wish that we could leave it all behind
The real men don't cry
Go ahead and dry your eyes
Nothing's wrong with you and I
