The Cure - Boys don't cry

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much, been too unkind

{Chorus}
I tried to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I tried to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

{Verse 2}
I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

{Chorus}
So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

{Verse 3}
I would tell you that I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
And you've already gone away

{Bridge}
Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more, more, more

{Chorus}
Now I would do 'most anything
To get you back by my sidе
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyеs
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

{Outro}
Boys don't cry

Biography

edit bio

The Cure, an English rock band formed in 1976, has had a long and illustrious career filled with ups and downs, experimentation, and ultimately, success. The band was originally comprised of primary songwriter Robert Smith, drummer Lol Tolhurst, and bassist Michael Dempsey, who was later replaced by Simon Gallup.

Before recording their critically acclaimed album Disintegration in 1989, Robert Smith had doubts about the band's ability to create a masterpiece as he approached 30 years of age. The Cure's career up to that point had been marked by a defiance against people's expectations, starting as a punk band before being pushed towards pop for their first album.

Smith's desire to create music that was true to his vision for The Cure led to a period of somber and eclectic sounds, culminating in the success of their 1987 double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. Despite this success, the band continued to be labeled as a pop band, which frustrated Smith even more.

With Disintegration, The Cure finally achieved the masterpiece that Smith had been aiming for, solidifying their place in music history. The band continued to find success with subsequent releases, including their Greatest Hits compilation, their eponymous 2004 comeback record, and 2008's 4:13 Dream.

In 2019, The Cure was rightfully inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, cementing their legacy as one of the most influential and enduring bands in the history of rock music.
