It's Not Impossible (Boys Don't Cry)

Ben Sollee


It's not impossible for me to cry 
It's just the hardest thing 
I've ever done 
and it's a shame you know 
But it's ingrained you know 
Boys don't cry 
Boys don't cry 

I can't change 
The way you left 
All I wanted was to say goodbye 
I was scared you know 
And I was mad you know 
Boys don't cry 
Boys don't cry 

I can try and try 
To change your mind 
Like one man pulling a train down the line 
It takes time I know 
But who has time you know 
Boys don't cry 
Boys don't cry 

You can kick and scream 
Cause a scene 
Take your anger out 
On someone else 
Steal the car 
Race the car 
But don't you dare 
No don't you dare cry 

I must admit 
All jokes aside 
I find some men beautiful 
Some girls handsome and some children wise 
And I hope some day 
Before I die 
I can share the kiss 
That brings tears to my eyes 
And it's a shame you know 
But it's ingrained you know 
Boys don't cry 
Boys don't cry, no , no baby 
Boys don't cry 
Boys don't cry, no 

It's not impossible for me to cry 
It's just the hardest thing 
I've ever done
