Tell us boys don't cry, but we do every day
At least folded, we're holding the weight, uh
Gotta get the world up off our shoulders
Fly away before our hearts get colder
Best believe there will be better days
Start telling your friends that we'll all be okay, yeah
Gotta stop reading my feed, it throws me
We're too young to be this sad and lonely
I got stuck in a daydream, swallowed a daisy
To photosynthesise some sun for my head
Too many, too many sad days, fell down the staircase
I don't know what happened there
Shit might get me down, but I know I can't quit
Tell my mum and dad, but they don't understand it
Why my only plan's to live like Peter Pan did
Never growing old, no, I'm never landing
Tell us boys don't cry, but we do every day
At least folded, we're holding the weight, uh
Gotta get the world up off our shoulders
Fly away before our hearts get colder
Best believe there will be better days
Start telling your friends that we'll all be okay, yeah
Gotta stop reading my feed, it throws me
We're too young to be this sad and lonely
Didn't life seem simple
When I was only waist height?
Ignorance was bliss it seems
Parents told us little white lies
Then we grow up too fast, and the truth cascades
Things get a little bit fucked up
As our innocence fades
One ear to the bedroom floor
Mum and dad aren't in love no more
I'm the man of the house now
Never been here before
Tears flooding down my face
I guess that's growing pains
But I'm so confused
'Cause boys don't cry and boys don't bruise
Tell us boys don't cry, but we do every day
At least folded, we're holding the weight, uh
Gotta get the world up off our shoulders
Fly away before our hearts get colder
Best believe there will be better days
Start telling your friends that we'll all be okay, yeah
Gotta stop reading my feed, it throws me
We're too young to be this sad and lonely
