[Intro] We wear the scars We hide the fear We laugh too loud So no one hears [Verse] We broke bottles behind the club Called it courage, called it love Painted black around our eyes To cover up the long goodbyes Mama called but I let it ring Too proud to say I miss everything The city cheered when the curtains rose But nobody sees when the hotel door closes [Pre-Chorus] We learned to smile with a bleeding mouth Learned to run when the lights went out Everybody wants the fire No one wants the smoke inside [Chorus] Wild boys don’t cry That’s the lie we live by We raise our fists to the sky While the tears burn dry Wild boys don’t cry But lonely hearts know why Under leather, under pride Wild boys still cry [Verse] Tommy punched a wall in Tennessee Said nobody gets the best of me Roxy kissed him on the broken hand Said someday maybe you’ll understand Johnny laughed with a shaking voice Said pain ain’t pain if you make some noise So we played until the dawn went blue Hiding every wound in tune [Pre-Chorus] We learned to bleed in a spotlight glow Learned to fall where the cameras don’t go Everybody wants the thunder No one wants the rain inside [Chorus] Wild boys don’t cry That’s the lie we live by We raise our fists to the sky While the tears burn dry Wild boys don’t cry But lonely hearts know why Under leather, under pride Wild boys still cry [Instrumental] One guitar screams One heart breaks One city sleeps One soul shakes [Bridge] I saw myself in a bathroom glass Mascara running from a broken past I said be strong, boy, bite your tongue But every song knows where you’re from [Breakdown] No more hiding No more shame Even rebels Feel the rain [Build-up] Let the walls come down tonight Let the truth catch fire tonight If we’re broken, we’re alive If we’re crying, we survive [Chorus] Wild boys don’t cry That’s the lie we live by We raise our fists to the sky While the tears burn dry Wild boys don’t cry But lonely hearts know why Under leather, under pride Wild boys still cry [Chorus] Wild boys don’t cry But we scream when the stars go blind We keep burning, we keep trying With a storm locked inside Wild boys don’t cry But lonely hearts know why Under leather, under pride Wild boys still cry [Outro] Wild boys still cry Wild boys still cry Under leather, under pride Wild boys still cry
