Heavy thoughts are shaking The ground beneath me I can barely stand As the thunder rumbles My heart crumbles Losing who I am "Toughen up" they say Get your head in the game Be a man I wish that I could rise above this madness I wish that I could shake off my disguise I wish that I was strong enough not to feel weakness I wish that I was brave enough to cry How I wish that I was brave enough to cry Down the river Lies a place where I could rest But I'm too proud Running faster The past is whispering Make it stop I'm too sad "Toughen up" they say Get your head in the game Be a man I wish that I could rise above this madness I wish that I could shake off my disguise I wish that I was strong enough not to feel weakness I wish that I was brave enough to cry I wish that I was brave enough to cry Underneath we are each other We're all human after all I wish that I could rise above this madness I wish that I could shake off my disguise I wish that I was strong enough not to feel weakness I wish that I was brave enough to cry
