Some boys are taught young

Don't cry

You won't get no love

Only laughter from giants

Or knuckles from above

So no

I don't break in the day

Not givin' 'em nothin' to say

I just swallow it down deeper

Like a real man's supposed to

Not cryin' in front of nobody

Never breakin' where it shows

Not lettin' those cracks

Run in public

Just waitin' on them to corrode

Holdin' it in 'til night comes

By sunrise back to stone

Wanna know my secret?

When I'm cryin

I cry alone

That black suit weighed heavy

Heaviest weight I've ever known

Smelled like old dust

And cheap cologne

Air grew thick

With every"I'm sorry for your loss"

They didn't know

What losin' her would cost

The choir sang

But I heard no sound

Just the beatin' of my heart

As it broke down

Through every"You'll be fine"

Through every"She was too good"

I just shook the preacher's hand

Like I understood

Truth is

I needed to go

Needed to run

Everything inside

Was comin' undone

Not cryin' in front of nobody

Never breakin' where it shows

Not lettin' those cracks

Run in public

Just waitin' on them to corrode

Holdin' it in 'til night comes

By sunrise back to stone

Wanna know my secret?

When I'm cryin

I cry alone

I'm cryin' alone

Yeah

The moment I got home

It felt like a ghost

Same walls

Same sink

But not what I loved most

Tears already rollin

But I was just tryna breathe

Then that anger hit fast

Like lightning

Surged through me

Bathroom mirror

Caught my right hook

Shattered and died

Shards in my skin

Didn't feel it

Just stood there

And cried

Not cryin' in front of nobody

Never breakin' where it shows

Not lettin' those cracks

Run in public

Just waitin' on them to corrode

Holdin' it in 'til night comes

By sunrise back to stone

Wanna know my secret?

When I'm cryin

I cry alone

Yeah

I'm cryin' alone
