Bruises on a young mans knuckles You know we find it hard to express ourselves Clean hearts but we still find trouble And we say we're alright when we know that we need help Why do we find it so hard to speak? Think if we share our problems, we're weak Weight of the world on our shoulders to save our pride Why do we find it so hard to talk? Trapped in our mind, alone with our thoughts Thinking we need someone to dry our eyes I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away for you I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away for you You feel so alone in a room full of people So you put your front on and hide behind it Who knew your own thoughts could be so lethal? 'Cause even when you're upset, you gotta keep on smiling 'Cause you're the man of the house Can't shed a tear when your family's about All built up so you're angrier now Ranting that you ain't happy with the hand you were dealt But you don't wanna be a burden Can't let your loved ones see that you're hurting Can't let my little girl see her dad cry So now I'll just wipe these tears out my eyes I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away for you I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away for you I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away for you I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away for you You can feel so at home in a room full of people But you put your front on and try to hide it They say your own thoughts can be so peaceful But even when you're upset, they'll never see you crying 'Cause you're the man of the house Can't shed a tear when your family's about All built up so you're angrier now Ranting that you ain't happy with the hand you were dealt But you don't wanna be a burden Can't let your loved ones see that you're hurting Can't let my little girl see her dad cry Can somebody wipe these tears out my eyes? It ain't that people don't care It's like, how can you, how can you help me If you don't actually genuinely understand And that you, you don't get it? But what I've found is that People, when you are talking People do actually, they do get it I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away for you I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away for you I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away for you I'll wipe your tears away I'll wipe your tears away for you
