LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
I've been starting to lose control
I swear I can fix anything
Anything, but me
I've been putting my heart thru hell
And I don’t want to think about anything
Anything, but me
PRE:
Just give me time
I’ve been running from my mind
Need a second for my soul
Let it go
And I tried
Keepin' all of this inside
But the cracks they start to show
And I’ve been told
HOOK:
Boys don’t cry
But damn I need a shoulder
I’d be lying
If I said I don’t
Sometimes I’m the one that needs a little holding
If boys don’t cry
Where are these tears supposed to go?
Where are these tears supposed to go?
V2:
I’ve been trying to find that light
But darkness just keeps finding me
Blinding me from what’s real
PRE:
Just give me time
I’ve been running from my mind
Need a second for my soul
Let it go
And I tried
Keepin' all of this inside
But the cracks they start to show
And I’ve been told
HOOK:
Boys don’t cry
But damn I need a shoulder
I’d be lying
If I said I don’t
Sometimes I’m the one that needs a little holding
If boy’s don’t cry
Where are these tears supposed to go?
Where are these tears supposed to go?
CLOSING HOOK:
Boys don’t cry
But damn I need a shoulder
I’d be lying
If I said I don’t
Sometimes I’m the one that needs a little holding
If boy’s don’t cry
Where are these tears supposed to go
Where are these tears supposed to go

I’ve buried a lot of friends and family with no tears, but holding the box with my baby boy in it hit me in a way I’d never felt before. Thanks for the song👏

[@jesusisking3814]

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ loves you so much that He died for your sins and rose from the dead. If you repent from evil ways, believe that Jesus has paid the fine for your sins on the cross and confess Him as your Lord, you will be saved. You see, we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, that's why Jesus Christ, fullness of Godhead bodily, lived a perfect life, fulfilled the prophecies and law, shed His Blood at the cross just so you could be forgiven, reconciled back to the Father, receive God's love, be made a new creation, whole, sanctified. It's not about religion and what good works you can do to earn salvation, it's only by grace through faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ. Read God's Word, preferably start with Gospel of John, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you, give you wisdom and revelation that way you're born again and see your life changed by the Spirit of the Most High. Much love and God bless you!

I hope you are doing well now. that is an awful experience no parent should go through.

[@mike196425]

I know your pain, my grandson passed away at the age of 18 months old, it was a pain like no other. He was my first grandchild and my best friend. It's been 12 years and the pain is still so fresh. I was able to handle my Dad and older brother dying within 4 months of each other but Max was like nothing I was expecting. Something died inside me when he passed and my mind has never been the same. I now suffer PTSD because of that day, I lost my brothers in the Army but this was different. Be well and stay strong, the scars heal with this loss but the wound never really does. Blessings to you and yours

Ur not the only one. I’ve never met my birth parents because they were abusive. Now knowing I have a half brother still there with my dad, and I can’t help, like my older sisters did with me, It tears me apart. My sisters saved me, and I can’t save him. I now live with a loving family since I was three, and now it’s been 11 years, and I only hope my little brother is okay and he will someday want to meet me. I’ve learned You can’t save everyone, but you can still learn for the better. God bless you.

People have emotions and feelings. Crying is okay. Crying doesn't make you weak or seem less of a man. Crying shows vulnerability, that you can be trusted, and that you can show empathy and that you care. The most human thing about us all.

[@edwardhyde2806]

Some men realize this way to late

[@alejandrorangel4659]

I don’t really share my feelings because I don’t wanna show that I’m weak but I’ve seen men tell people in social media that it’s ok to let it out and to talk about it so I sometimes drink my depression away at night and cry my eyes out l, and trying to not cross that line where it leads me to end it all.

[@adamjeske133]

This song hits me hard even listening to it for the first time. Being a volunteer firefighter of 18 years and a 911 dispatcher of the last 6 years plus my family's military background - these industries condition us to "let it go and move on to the next" so that's what we do. Then recently when it is encouraged to talk things out, people don't realize how much we have held in for so long. I personally suffer from anxiety, depression and PTSD and have just buried it rather than talking about what bothers me. It is a struggle every day to just wake up and get ready for the day... but I do it because nobody else will do it for me. Men and women alike, you are not alone and it is okay to not be okay. If you ever feel any type of way, do not be afraid to reach out. If you bury it for too long, eventually it's going to destroy you from the inside out to the point everything you have buried will cause those who care to bury you. Let go of the pride, the stigma is over. #youhaveavoice #youmatter #youarenotalone

Screw your dad. Why shouldn't you cry? The world isn't going to end when you cry and you'll feel better. Your mom will feel better. Knowing she is so loved and having a cry herself bc that is awful. And awful situation for everyone that not crying won't change it. Tell your dad that just bc he only cries in his head or when he's alone, doesn't mean he is any better than you. And please cry. You, your mother him. Let it all out. Crying is like magical. Makes you feel like all those suffocating emotions aren't as suffocating anymore.

Just remember to take a deep breath yourself, gaze at the stars, look at the sky, or take a walk and clear your mind. It'll help you feel a little peace inside and may clear your mind a bit. I know the feeling of feeling alone like you got no one else. Hell I went through depression so I can see both sides.

You are not alone, stand and press on for the journey is not for the weak. Remember that you will lose motivation, but not determination. Let determination fuel the fire, the fire not to fail, not to give up, to keep fighting for when the day comes you will look back and say "I did this, my hard work, my sacrifices, my changes, every sleepless night, every nothing fight, for this...... my kingdom". For nothing good comes easy, let life be hard and enjoy the moments for the better. Again I say, I see you.

Found this song at just the right time ❤ being unable to cry, can drive you crazy but some music helps to get a little release, and this song does just thank you

[@SavannaScott-v8z]

I’m not a boy but I lost my mom 4 years ago and feel like I have to be strong for my family mostly my brother and pawpaw.

[@lost4gott3n]

those that see this, I know ya dont know me, but that does not mean you cant drop a PRAYER for me. I been facing the biggest battle ever in my life since Aug 22 2023, my personal Egypt. While the storm is smashing me from all sides I stand still, looking, listening, watching, waiting and any and all PRAYERS are wanted and needed. I cant put into words how defeated i feel how inferior i feel. I have never been tested like this in my life. For Yall: All Mighty GOD, i PRAY for all here now as well who need you GOD, you know the needs as they wander thru their Egypt, looking for the Promise Land, We all have our own Egypt and the only way thru is YOU. i PRAY YOU provide peace, strength, understanding and comfort for those in need. To you GOD, be all the Praise, Honor and Glory, CHRIST NAME AMEN, GOD BLESS all Even If, My hope is YOU alone #keepsteppingandstaystrong GOD has us all - Men cry cause i have everyday since Aug 22, no shame.. GOD give me peace

[@xandert6700]

I may only be 14 but ive been abused for a long time and bullied at school for some disablilitys that I have, I've started to lose hope in life and this song helps a lot and I dont know what to do anymore. Thanks for the song keep up the good work.

[@HoldOntoYourButts]

I have no one to reach out to. My mom died, my dad's a drunk and I don't speak to my brothers, we have no bond and weren't raised together. I have no life partner. I can't make friends. Never had kids. Cheers to anyone else struggling, we'll make it.

[@JeremyHanger-eb8et]

Amen keep your head up Isiah 41:10- we can do all things through Christ that gives us strength.

[@FaeBorthwick]

My mom died in June. My dad has a new family and I won’t burden my sisters with anything. I’m here if you want to talk

[@billichildress5231]

If you’d like someone to talk to you can talk to me stranger or not sometimes a listening ear helps no matter who it’s attached to

[@gavenshewmaker3877]

I’ll be your brother💪

[@jonathanridener9673]

Your never alone bro. Idk you but your important and worth while. Your loved

[@simonwilliams1943]

Wow, just heard this and what a beautiful heartfelt but real world song. I can relate a lot to the lyrics being a sufferer of depression and also as a man/father/spouse I know how hard it's is to show your true feelings when things get too much, but this hit home and brought a tear to my eye but now I can't stop playing it, im obsessed such an amazing voice and a beautiful song.

[@charleswolf8472]

I've been listening to this song on repeat, thank you for creating a song that explains how we been feeling💔☹️

[@statjim]

I fight my mind everyday starting to get tired of self medicating. I’m talking to a mental health counselor later today. Time to get back on my bipolar meds. Going through a lot of personal things right now and starting to scare myself. This song is great. Seems music helps some. Thank you

[@areanancy7806]

Oh! It's gonna be great. Just hold tight. It's never easy though

[@user-le8do4ug8k]

You have beautiful vocals.. keep on moving forward to move others.. keep up being the amazing person you are.. you have the potential thank you for showing it

[@MasonJohnson-n7h]

Some days I hurt so bad when I get home from work . I drink a lot of beers but get into fight with my old lady saying she hates how I drink but it’s just for me to stay calm and relax my mind from the racing thoughts so I can give the love of my life and kids the best life they deserve

[@AnnaNielsen-xx8ub]

MEN Cry ❤ Song left me speechless for a minute. 😢 The darkest nights shine the brightest ✨stars...this song is one of those ✨ and your music will be a blessing far beyond what your sadness will tell you. All my love, GREAT song!!!

[@georgemelvin880]

Smiles, hi Anna 🌺

[@Dusk9495]

Boy's don't cry Real men do It takes a man to not be afraid to show your true emotions, and let it out

[@maddog4u31757]

Been listening to this on repeat for days..... thank you for this song

[@odiebrooklyn6193]

I’m tired of seen ppl go and I stay behind wishing it was me when I should be happy I’m blessed and I can’t feel it.

[@DaleMcCallum-w2r]

Its the first time hearing this song it made me cry honestly everything is so true in every aspect

[@wyatturner6934]

My cousin Ashlin is the first person I think of hearing this .. He's always been my rock in my life .. From cancer to every heartbreak I've had in this life .. He's in the Navy now. Couldn't be more proud of him .. But damn I need him these days to just to let me emotions out. Love you cuz! Keep keeping us safe at night.

[@laughandlive377]

Why don't you try opening to other people other than him?

[@jansonrichards6982]

This hits hard can't stop listening to this

[@HaiderArabi]

Pretending to be okay is not easy 😢

[@jasonhopkins8583]
