Lewis Capaldi ft. Justin Bieber - Boys Don't Cry [Music Video 2025]

They told me real men keep it in Taught me silence was how you win Said be strong then turned away So I learned to lie and smile all day I bled inside but stayed off bright Made my jokes, turned off the light I've been choking on the words I never said Built a graveyard in my head I laughed at pain just to survive Told myself it's how you stay alive But I'm tired of acting like I'm still I've got more cracks than I can heal No one ever taught me how to break Just how to hide what's real and fake I scream in silence every night That's the part of me I never fight Boys don't cry, but I do Every night when the world feels true Boys don't beg, but I have prayed For a little peace, for the fear to fade I wear the brave like it's a suit But it doesn't fit, never was cute If strength is silence, I'm not strong Cause I've been crying all along I said I'm fine when I was low Built a wall so no one know I filled my lungs with empty pride Said I'm good, then ran to hide I've hugged my knees behind closed doors Punched the mirror, cursed the floor I learned to laugh at every cut Then buried them and kept my mouth shut My voice is hoarse from what I keep I talk in dreams but never sleep I wish I knew it's safe to break That crying's not a damn mistake I'm not a statue, not a stone This heart was never meant alone So if you see me coming through Know I break like you do too Boys don't cry, but I do Every night when the world feels true Boys don't beg, but I have prayed For a little peace, for the fear to fade I wear the brave like it's a suit But it doesn't fit, never was cute If strength is silence, I'm not strong Cause I've been crying all along I don't wanna hide what's mine Don't wanna fake a flawless line I'm softer than they ever knew And bleeding doesn't make me lose So if I fall, I fall out loud Tears don't mean I'm not proud I'll cry and still walk through the flame With all this hurt And still my name
