Prompt / Lyrics
(verse 1) She's eighteen, staring down school work might, Papers due in the morning, burning the midnight light. Math test at one, numbers swirling in her head, Work at four, another shift, gotta earn that bread. He's twenty too, with an empty bed to face, Bills piled high, a relentless, haunting chase. His little girl's shoes worn thin, a silent plea, The cycle resets, restarts, endlessly. (Chorus) Boys Don't cry, boys Don't cry, they hide inside Girls they fall and they break every day So much responsibility Don't know what's reality Is it day, is it night Only got three hours of sleep Thriving off anxiety and coffee (Verse 2) It's hard to see the working man struggling It's hard to see the big city man and his big city house doing nothing It's hard to see little boys and girls out on the streets It's hard to see mommies and daddies choosing substance over families What a crazy world (Chorus) Boys Don't cry, boys Don't cry, they hide inside Girls they fall and they break every day So much responsibility Don't know what's reality Is it day, is it night Only got three hours of sleep Thriving off anxiety and coffee (Bridge) Don't let them see any tears Smile even if it's fake Get up, put your mask on They can't know you're scared Straighten your shoulders, lift your head Speak clearly, don't stutter. (Slow) (Drop the beat) Applaud the good, ignore the bad (Chorus) Boys Don't cry, boys Don't cry, they hide inside Girls they fall and they break every day So much responsibility Don't know what's reality Is it day, is it night Only got three hours of sleep Thriving off anxiety and coffee Thriving off anxiety and coffee What a crazy world
