Sometimes the pain is too great to bear
And the splinters dig in deep from the stairs
Still between the blood and sweat, you see no tears
He would rather die, then to let you see him cry
In the darkness, his eyes are bloodshot
As they take everything, he's got
Mind, body, soul all shattered
Never to be whole
He will not give into his fears
You will not see his tears
Cause he would rather die, then to let you see him cry
You see society says that men don't cry
So, that is why
Most are unable to love and won't commit
To a relationship and really don't give a s**t
And despite the pain that they go through
Only a few and I mean only a few
Will let you see the tears in their eyes
Cause they would rather die, then to let you see them cry
My father was stern so I learned
My lessons first hand
About how to be a man
How to be the breadwinner
And be the last to eat dinner
I learned the price
Of pain and sacrifice
And despite what my father went through
One thing he did not do was cry
He would rather die then to let you see
Tears in his eyes
Sometimes the pain is too great to bear
And the splinters dig in deep from the stairs
Still between the blood and the sweat, you see no tears
He would rather die, then to let you see him cry
