Boys Will Be Boys

I'm so tired of your illusions

Rules never change

And my mind is so abusive

Taking on the shapes

When it comes to your love, is it unconditional?

When it comes to my love, anything is fixable

And all these noises so relentless

I need a second to breathe

Cause if boys will be boys

We do the best that we can

Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands

Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes

When mothers lose their sons

And their fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

When mothers lose their sons

And fathers watch them go

I'm no longer taking lessons from those who broke before

Now that I am done confessing the words have left me sore

When you feel the restless pain

As it crawls out of your heart

And the thoughts of yesterday

Bring you to where you are

All these voices that once controlled me can't contain me here

Cause if boys will be boys

And we do the best that we can

Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands

Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes

When mothers lose their sons

And their fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

When mothers lose their sons

And fathers watch them go

Tell me how it feels to win it

Has it gone according to your plan?

Do you wish that you'd forget it or?

Or do you feel less like a human?

Ooh, if boys don't cry not a man am I?

Not a day goes by that I've had to lie

Who I was before

Since I closed that door

And it's all white noise

That boys must be boys

Cause if boys will be boys

And we do the best that we can

Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands

Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes

When mothers lose their sons

And their fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

When mothers lose their sons

And fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

When mothers lose their sons

And fathers watch them go
