Men Don't Cry
He picks up the gun and
Holds it to his temple
I have nothing more to give
I have no reason left to live
A tear courses down his cheek
He angrily brushes it off
Men don't cry
And I'm a man, I'm tough
How did this happen?
I didn't use to be this way
I was a star student
On every test I got an A
But lately I've been depressed
Dad says he's disappointed
Mom says I'm not at my best
I've been rude to her
I'm stressed
How did this start?
Jennifer
Her picture sits on my dresser
I love her
She broke my heart
She stole my fire
She was so beautiful
A beautiful liar
Who am I kidding
She wasn't my wife
He throws away the gun
I'm not taking my life
