  • Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
    Look

    Uh, tour bus slidin' in the rain, headed out of state
    So much goin' through my brain, I can barely think
    Sometimes I get on my own and wander outer space
    I love you, but I'm full of rage, our past is full of pain
    On a planet of my own, livin' like an alien
    Think it's safe to say that I'll never be the same again
    Never fall in love again, my heart is on a shelf
    My music's full of pain, but I keep my problems to myself
    Keep my mouth closed 'cause my thoughts sometimes can get too deep
    My heart cold, my eyes closed, but I never go to sleep
    I been all alone goin' on two weeks me, myself, and my sheets
    We gon' call your phone so we can speak, but it made me feel weak
    Get on the internet and see the world laugh 'bout my depression
    They paintin' perfect pictures, but I ain't buyin' what they sellin'
    Collect calls from the county always could make me smile
    Damn, brother, you was just on the streets, and now you're goin' to trial
    Yeah, mama, I made it out the streets, I hope you finally proud
    Youngin' jump out with that K, in broad day, shootin' at the crowd
    Now he gettin' on top the stage, and they sing his music loud, sing his music out loud

    Take away my name, take away my throne
    Take away my fame, let me keep my soul
    Smilin' on the outside, inside dyin'
    Listenin' to a grown man cryin'
    Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
    Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
    Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
    Oh-whoa, mm

    Sound like
    Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
    Boys don't cry, you know boys don't cry
    Yeah
    Boys don't cry, you know boys don't cry Writer/s: Bryan Austin Beachley, James Lanty-Hickson, Johnny Carter, Rodarius Green
