Cry

It's okay, let it up to the surface
Feel the pain and you'll free your emotions
Fine, you're not fine

Yeah, I hear that people say to man up
Like crying over lost ones means that you ain't man enough
Wounds that needed stitches, but we wrap 'em up in bandages
Acting like we're fine, but inside we let it damage us
We are not computers that can just delete our issues
You wish you'd saw it sooner and didn't let it continue
That kid you called a loser and bullied every chance he'd give you
Well, he just became the shooter, shooting up the school you went to

We say the guns the problem, but I think that's too convenient
I think the bigger problem is just treating people decent
We see these mental issues, but it's almost never treated
We share a couple posts, then act like we never seen it
It's funny how we care only when we watch the news
We blame the politicians so the blame isn't on you
It's crazy that we act like there's nothing we can do
When all that kid needed was a friend to help him through

It's okay, let it up to the surface
Feel the pain and you'll free your emotions
Fine, you're not fine
Every tear is a drop in the ocean
All you feel, can you let the gates open?
Cry, cry

No, we're exploding from this pain that we bottle up inside
And then we shrug it off like it's not eating us alive
Women ask us why we do it, we say it's just 'cause we're guys
That's a pretty way of saying that we can't suck up our pride
But bottling these feelings, watch 'em blow up from the pressure
Breaking down and now we crying, say it's better late than never
But hiding these emotions, acting like we're not affected
'Til the gun is at our temple and we go to pull the trigger

The suicide rate is always staying at the rise
We'd sacrifice our life before we would lose our pride
It's more than meets the eye with this pressure that we hide
When we look and say we're fine, but inside we wanna die
They say what makes a man is the moment that he's laid
They say what makes a man is the moment he gets paid
They say to stuff it down, not to let 'em see you cave
But bottling your feelings ain't the same as being brave

It's okay, let it up to the surface
Feel the pain and you'll free your emotions
Fine, you're not fine
Every tear is a drop in the ocean
All you feel, can you let the gates open?
Cry, cry

Pay attention to the people that smile the most
'Cause if you don't then tomorrow, they might be a ghost, frozen in time
They tryna hide behind all the jokes, it never works though
So then they turn to the drugs and the liquor
Or anything they get their hands on
That's why I'm making this music to keep my fans strong
There ain't no telling when people deal with their last straw

I'm losing track of all of the people that I cared for
And when I get the news I'm never prepared for
To hear my friend's dead, laying on the bare floor
They say I couldn't help him
But if I was there, then maybe I could've helped him
It's all that I can think about
And every night I drink myself to sleep to try to keep the demons out
And if you're dealing with some demons, think of reaching out
And try to get some help before it's too late and they're screaming out

It's okay, let it up to the surface
Feel the pain and you'll free your emotions
Fine, you're not fine
Every tear is a drop in the ocean
All you feel, can you let the gates open?
Cry, cry
