Lyrics
Cause guys
Guys
Don't cry
Do not express emotions by crying
Cause guys
Men typically suppress tears
Don't cry
Men aren't expected to cry
("are you happy? I mean... come on...")
An interjection questioning someone's happiness
Cause guys
Reiterating societal expectations for men
Don't cry
Reinforcing the notion that men shouldn't cry
You know why I wanna die
Expressing a desire to end one's life
My eyes
No tears are shed
Stay dry
Despite efforts, tears are withheld
No matter how hard Ima try
Despite attempting, emotions remain contained
Cause guys
Reemphasizing societal norms for males
Don't cry
Men are discouraged from crying
You know why I wanna die
Reiteration of suicidal ideation
My eyes
No visible tears despite inner turmoil
Stay dry
Struggling to show emotions externally
No matter how hard Ima try
Acknowledging difficulty in expressing emotions
Try, try
Emphasizing a plea for a brief moment to bid farewell
Gimme 1 more second to say good bye
Requesting a moment longer for goodbye
Bye my life
Reflecting on life's farewell
Almost getting jealous when I see you cry, cry
Feeling envious seeing someone else cry, unable to express emotions
Eyes are dry like my
Comparing dry eyes to emotional pain
Feelings getting hurt
Internal hurt despite the lack of visible emotion
Can't see love inside this girl
Unable to perceive love in a person
Yeah she slept in my T-Shirt
Recalling intimate moments, yet emotions remain suppressed
Yeah she said that I am first and worst
Being labeled negatively in a relationship, impacting emotions
Boyfriend that she ever had
Confirmation of negative perception within the relationship
Yeah she said that I am bad
Confirmation of being perceived negatively, causing sadness
Yes it made me sad
Emotions stirred by negative perception
And it made me mad
Feeling both empty and emotional
Empty in my hand
Metaphorical emptiness in hand
Empty in my head
Emptiness felt internally
So you cry the last time when we met
Recalling the last tear shed during a meeting
Asking why I am so cold and I don't cry
Questioning one's emotional detachment and lack of tears
Baby just belief me
Asserting efforts made despite the inability to cry
Hell I tried
Expressing the attempt at expressing emotions despite difficulties
Cause guys
Reiterating societal expectations for male emotional suppression
Don't cry
Reinforcing the idea that men shouldn't cry
You know why I wanna die
Reiterating suicidal thoughts
My eyes
No visible display of emotional distress
Stay dry
Despite efforts, tears are withheld
No matter how hard Ima try
Struggle to express emotions externally
Cause guys
Reiterating societal norms and expectations
Don't cry
Reiteration of suicidal ideation
You know why I wanna die
No visible tears despite inner turmoil
My eyes
Struggling to show emotions externally
Stay dry
Acknowledging difficulty in expressing emotions
No matter how hard Ima try
Continued challenge in external emotional expression
Cause guys
Men are discouraged from crying
Don't cry
Reiterating suicidal thoughts
You know why I wanna die
Expressing a desire to end one's life
Cause guys
Men typically suppress tears
Don't cry
Men aren't expected to cry
You know why I wanna die
Reiteration of suicidal ideation
My eyes
No visible tears despite inner turmoil
Stay dry
Struggling to show emotions externally
No matter how hard Ima try
Continued challenge in external emotional expression
My eyes
Emphasizing the struggle to express emotions externally
Stay dry
Despite attempts, tears are withheld
No matter how hard Ima try (Try, try)
Continued struggle to express emotions despite efforts
