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
cant let go of that foolish pride,you keep it locked up inside
time to face the pain,stand up and cry like a man
2
theres no one left to blame now,she had her reason why she had to go
the feelings you hid the love you could’nt give kept her from touchin your soul
you got to break down that fortress inside and surrender to the tears in your eyes
you’ll never be free again til you cry like a man
Break…..
theres no shame in letting teardrops fall,its a good thing it’ll be alright
a little rain can make the trees grow tall,you’ve got to be strong,
so stand up and cry like a man
3
You know shes gone for good now,your love is torn beyond repair
theres not a trace of a tear on your face there ought to be some there
those deep emotions you keep in the dark,if you dont let them out there goin to freeze up your heart
you’ll never be free again til you cry like a man
So Stand Up and Cry Like a Man
