Big Boys Don't Cry

image source

Big boys don't cry
Don't ask why, son
Just dry the tears
Don't let fears show
The years will pass
Scars amass now
A glass heart breaks
A man takes pain
He aches alone
Man has grown up
His own son cries
No more lies told
He tries what's right
Holds him tightly
Don't fight the tears.
