It's Ok to Cry

Boys don't cry, I ain't saying that I did
I remember in the summer we were lovers, it was bliss
Both had a lot in common, we was coming from the bits
I would always have a Mars, you would always have a Twix
I know another brother's probably in the mix
Get your fix, I'll be getting mine, I tried a second time
A brave face can only last so long
I can't believe that we let it die, now it's the present time
And I developed a pressure
I wasn't gettin mine - it's bye-bye but Never
Mind my eyes wide for the next bird, the next time
I'll probably be the bad guy
'Cause good guys never make it to the finish line
Don't know why I thought to give it time
Cause it only cut me deeper shoulda saw the signs
I still adore you but I love you from a distance
From best friends to strangers with distance for instance
You don't write the same amount of kisses in your "text'es"
Remember when you told me I was different from your exes?
And now you're probably telling him the same thing
I mean it's cool but it's not the same thing
It's in the past, wish I could erase it
I'm caved in, never been the same since
It's still a-blaze, wish I could have saved it
A bit of faith, wish we would have made it

You ain't gotta be the tough guy all the time
Running from your walls won't make it alright
It's ok to cry, sometimes
It's ok to cry, sometimes

(Check, ah) I got this front door camera on my phone
Sometimes I check it just to check you made it home
I crack a smile when I see you ain't alone
Know you need a friend and I've been sittin' on my jones
(Ah, trust) I leave a message at the tone
Probably better if you once said I don't moan (ay)
Then we don't argue, maybe pour me 'out my zone
Till you say a couple things about my life I don't condone
(Check) But anyways I'm bumpin' Kanye, hopefully
The bonus track, you know the bitter-sweet poetry
(Trust) I feel like knowing him is knowing me
And knowing you is knowing someone that I hope to be
But yo it's hopeless see?
'Cause I remember when you noticed me
I coulda benched the world over free[?]
Maybe I just never been livin' what I'm supposed to be
'Cause now I'm sittin with this beat, let my soul repeat
We over for the chorus, appreciate you let me tour
Say I'm sorry, leave my jumpers on the bedroom floor
For all the fuckin' times I'm slammin' on the bedroom door
And all the troubles that I left, they were swept a-shore
But still I wonder why we've really never met before
When I was poor, only worry was the week I saw
'Cause now I'm raw, burnt rotten to the core
I throw away the money for the one that I adore
(Check, to give me more, give me more)

You ain't gotta be the tough guy all the time
(Ah, to give me more, give me more)
Running from your walls won't make it alright
It's ok to cry, sometimes
It's ok to cry, sometimes

I've never seen my pops cry
Men ain't really meant to
Prize too high, I was livin' to impress you
Sorry that I stressed you
Never thought I'd get you
Livin' in a mess, I was blessed by your rescue (Check you)
I admit that I checked your page, I couldn't help it
Didn't know the steps to take to move forward
But I seen you doin' well
Boys don't cry - if I did I wouldn't tell
Finger on the dial, I was thinkin' "Should I bell?"
Everythin' I dreamed, so imagine how I felt
But I wouldn't melt, I'm better by my self
If I never get to heaven 'least I made it through the hell
If crime doesn't help - find a woman like yourself
Left me on the shelf, it's the end of the book
I'm tryna' turn another page but wherever I look
The same story, regardless of the measures I took
So pray for me
Whenever the days tore me, hopin' you'd wait for me
But knowin' you ain't for me
Wishin' you might call, but this is a cycle
Sick of the white lies and thinkin' it's my fault
(Yeah, yeah)
