1. I would say I'm sorry if I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time I've said too much, been too unkind

R: I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry Boys
don't cry

2. I would break down at your feet and beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it's too late and now there's nothing I can do

R: I try to laugh about it...

3. I would tell you that I loved you if I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use that you've already gone away

*: Misjudged your limits Pushed you too far
Took you for granted I thought that you needed me more

4. Now I would do most anything to get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry Boys
don't cry
