Guys Cry Too


The poor teenage girl sits in her room to cry

Remembering all the mean things said today

"Lose some weight! Wear a mask! Just drop dead and die!"

 

On her bed, knees hunched, tears fall

Trying to find a quiet place

Trying to end it all

 

Little does she know

Her friends are all around, so is society

To help her let the pain go

 

The poor teenage boy sits in his room to cry

Remembering all the mean things said today

"Lose some weight! Wear a mask! Just drop dead and die!"

 

On his bed, knees hunched, tears fall

Trying to find a quiet place

Trying to end it all

 

Little do we know

He is all alone

"Be a man they say"

He cannot let it go

 

We all want to support, we really do

We know that girls go through a lot,

But guys cry too
