Meg & Dia - Boys Can Cry Lyrics

Takes the anger out on another  
Or is all the screaming just in his head 
God, this feeling hurts like a mother 
He'll push it down into the pit of his chest 
He's got troubles  
He don't show it  
Till the ocean's  
Overflowing  
We've got old rules 
We don't buy 'em 
Now our voices  
Can't stay silent   
Why's it so hard getting it right? 
Boys can cry  
Girls can fight  
Don't get stuck believing the hype 
Boys can cry  
Girls can fight  
 
Knows what she wants but keeps it quiet  
Bites her tongue so she don't scare them away 
Rolls up her sleeves only in hiding 
Builds her strength because she's hoping for change 
Her desire  
They won't hear it 
She's got fire 
Won't go near it  
  
What's gonna change their minds 
It'll take some time, won't happen overnight 
We're gonna change their minds 
Leave it all behind, won't happen overnight 

Takes the anger out on another  
Or is all the screaming just in his head 
God, this feeling hurts like a mother 
He'll push it down into the pit of his chest 
He's got troubles  
He don't show it  
Till the ocean's  
Overflowing  
We've got old rules 
We don't buy 'em 
Now our voices  
Can't stay silent   
Why's it so hard getting it right? 
Boys can cry  
Girls can fight  
Don't get stuck believing the hype 
Boys can cry  
Girls can fight  
 
Knows what she wants but keeps it quiet  
Bites her tongue so she don't scare them away 
Rolls up her sleeves only in hiding 
Builds her strength because she's hoping for change 
Her desire  
They won't hear it 
She's got fire 
Won't go near it  
  
What's gonna change their minds 
It'll take some time, won't happen overnight 
We're gonna change their minds 
Leave it all behind, won't happen overnight
