Big Boys Cry

I cried last night until I couldn't I'll cry tonight, I know I shouldn't It hurts to know that I can't reach her I learned to lose, she was my teacher Well I try to hide all the tears down deep inside But even big boys cry I climb the walls, I chew my fingers I run around but her love lingers Her friends say she don't talk about me They say she's doing fine without me Well I try to hide all the tears down deep inside But even big boys cry Oh Well I try to hide all the tears down deep inside But even big boys cry I know some day I might forget her I know for my sake I had better I want so much to say I don't care But all this hoping gets me nowhere Well I try to hide all the tears down deep inside But even big boys cry Oh I try to hide all the tears down deep inside But even big boys cry But even big boys cry But even big boys cry
