Grown Men Don’t Cry - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I pulled into the shopping centre

And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother

Like ice cream melting they embraced

Years of bad decisions running down her face

All morning I would been thinking my life is so hard

And they wore everything they own, living in a car

I wanted to tell him it would be ok

But I got just got in my suburban and I drove away

But I don't know why they say grown men don't cry

I don't know why they say grown men don't cry

Keep having this dream about my old man

I am 10 years old, and he is holding my hand

We are talking on the front porch watching the sun go down

But it was just a dream he was a slave to his job and he could not be around

So many things I want to say to him

But I just placed a rose on his grave, and I talk to the wind

And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry

I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry

I am sitting here with my kids and my wife

And everything that I hold dear in my life

We say grace and thank the Lord

Got so much to be thankful for

Then it is up the stairs and off to bed and my little girl says

"I haven't had my story yet"

And everything weighing on my mind disappears just like that

When she lifts her head off her pillow and says

"I love you dad"

And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry

I don't know why they say grown men don't cry

And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry

I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry
