Sad Boys Don't Go To Heaven

When he turned 10, his dad turned cold
Wouldn't hug him anymore
'Cause real men learn not to feel pain
His father raised him just the same

Now he spends his time alone
Sitting on his frozen throne
Too afraid to say he's cold
No one will ever know

Sad boys don't go to heaven
They don't stick around for long enough
To see what could've happened
If someone told them that they were loved

Boys are tough
Boys are brave
But know for them there's hell to pay
Then one by one, forgotten
Sad boys don't go to heaven, no

When he turned 20, he met a girl
Pockets bare but gave her the world
Well she had diamonds on her mind
Left him in the dead of night

Friends would tease him when he cried
In no one he could confide
Prayed to God he'd find the light
To guide him through the night

But sad boys don't go to heaven
They go home, get high, pop pills, get drunk
To see what they've been missing
Before all is said and all is done

Make your jokes
It's too late
They'll never see those pearly gates
Then one by one, forgotten
Sad boys don't go to heaven, no
Sad boys don't go to heaven, no

When he turned 30, he was tired
Dead end job, barely surviving
His father calls to ask him why
He made such a mess of his life

He screams and slams the telephone
The final straw had to be pulled
He once was taught that boys don't cry
But never realized that

Sad boys don't go to heaven
They don't stick around for long enough
To see what could've happened
If someone told them that they were loved

Boys are tough
Boys are brave
Until they make their great escape
Then one by one, forgotten
Sad boys don't go to heaven, no
Sad boys don't go to heaven, no
Sad boys don't go to heaven

Boys are tough
Boys are brave
Until they make their great escape
Then one by one, forgotten
Sad boys don't go to heaven
