like a boy

Cry like a boy, lie like a boy
Even when we dress, we fly like a boy
Dancing in my dress, my skirt
We skrrt, I don't show emotion, nah I ain't hurt
It's okay to be sad
It's okay to be mad
All good when you bad
But still goddamn, we shine like a boy

Cry like a boy, lie like a boy
Even when we dress, we fly like a boy
Dancing in my dress, my skirt
We skrrt, I don't show emotion, nah I ain't hurt
It's okay to be sad
It's okay to be mad
All good when you bad
But still goddamn, we shine like a boy

Don't like to, show weakness, but I do
No secret is safe in my hands
Don't want to be a dick but I am
I wish I could act myself, start being someone else
But I'm a bug, I don't feel pain
At least that's what you say
I'm meant to be tough, but I don't feel enough
Am I worthy of love?
A meathead, blockhead, bottom of the class
Wish I could cry in front my friends
That would be nice, but I'd pay the price
My fragile ego only leads to my demise

Cry like a boy, lie like a boy
Even when we dress, we fly like a boy
Dancing in my dress, my skirt
We skrrt, I don't show emotion, nah I ain't hurt
It's okay to be sad
It's okay to be mad
All good when you bad
But still goddamn, we shine like a boy

Cry like a boy, lie like a boy
Even when we dress, we fly like a boy
Dancing in my dress, my skirt
We skrrt, I don't show emotion, nah I ain't hurt
It's okay to be sad
It's okay to be mad
All good when you bad
But still goddamn, we shine like a boy

Silence, oh the silence
My boys aren't s'posed to cry and keep their eyes up through the violence
Cold and cradled without guidance
This kind of sick is a virus
These chemicals are invited, by societal pressures to hide it
Please don't push your feelings aside kids
Keep your social bubbles open for someone
Who loves through the struggles of this world undone
Their face are all blank and all their minds are numb
And you were too young, you are too young

I just want to show you who I am
Never want to play pretend again
Nails are painted, love the freedom
I'm loving me, how I would love someone else, yeah

Cry like a boy, lie like a boy
Even when we dress, we fly like a boy
Dancing in my dress, my skirt
We skrrt, I don't show emotion, nah I ain't hurt
It's okay to be sad
It's okay to be mad
All good when you bad
But still goddamn, we shine like a boy

Cry like a boy, lie like a boy
Even when we dress, we fly like a boy
Dancing in my dress, my skirt
We skrrt, I don't show emotion, nah I ain't hurt
It's okay to be sad
It's okay to be mad
All good when you bad
But still goddamn, we shine like a boy
