You sit there on the couch Sipping your scotch and ice You turn the TV on And tune me out again So what would you say to me If you could talk to me You could ask anything I wouldn't lie But you're okay with this Damaging awkwardness So I'll just play it safe And keep it inside 'Cause boys don't cry I used to hold your hand So tight there was no question But now even when you're near I've never felt so alone If you just stand beside me I'll keep you in my life Tell me how much you love me And I'll be just fine Don't be afraid of me
