I would say I'm sorry 
 If I thought that it would change your mind 
 But I know that, this time 
 I have said too much, been too unkind 
    I try to laugh about it 
 Cover it all up with lies 
 I try to laugh about it 
 Hiding the tears in my eyes 
 'Cause boys don't cry 
 Boys don't cry   
 I would break down at your feet 
 And beg forgiveness, plead with you 
 But I know that it's too late 
 And now there's nothing I can do   
 So I try to laugh about it 
 Cover it all up with lies 
 I try to laugh about it 
 Hiding the tears in my eyes 
 'Cause boys don't cry 
 Boys don't cry   
 I would tell you that I loved you 
 If I thought that you would stay 
 But I know that it's no use 
 That you've already gone away   
 Misjudged your limits 
 Pushed you too far 
 Took you for granted 
 I thought that you needed me more   
 Now, I would do most anything 
 To get you back by my side 
 But I just keep on laughing 
 Hiding the tears in my eyes 
 'Cause boys don't cry 
 Boys don't cry 
 Boys don't cry
