Take a look around you How much longer can you live this way? Trash on the floor from weeks before Just gets deeper by the day Can't let go of that foolish pride You keep it locked, locked up inside Time to face the pain Stand up and cry like a man There's no one left to blame now, no one She had her reasons why she had to go The feelings you hid, the love you couldn't give Kept her from touchin' your soul You need to break down that fortress inside And surrender to the tears in your eyes You'll never be free, my friend 'Til you cry like a man There ain't no shame in lettin' teardrops fall It's a good thing, baby, it's alright A little rain can make a tree grow tall You've got to be strong So stand up and cry like a man (You can do it) Cry, cry, cry, baby You know she's gone for good now The blanket's torn beyond repair But there's not a trace of tears on your face Oughta be some there Those deep emotions you kept in the dark If you don't let 'em out They're gonna freeze your heart You'll never feel love again 'Til you cry like a man So stand up and cry Cry like a man Stand up and cry Cry like a man Stand up and cry Cry like a man Cry like a man Cry like a man Stand up and cry Cry like a man Stand up and cry like a man
