De vil ha' mænd i uniform, selvom det' en kliché
Bag uniformen er der PTSD
Maskuline tårer har vi lært at gem' væk
Lige siden skolegården, de kalder bare på endnu fler' tæsk
Tag dig nu sammen, ja, mand dig selv op
Læg låg på det hele, behold din' skrig i din krop
I et lille hus på landet eller mørkegrå blok
Bag gardiner, der gør selv solen gi'r op (gi'r op)
For når mænd, de græder, er det altid
I en flask', i en streg, i en joint
I en pille, eller
En blanding af alting
Ingen tårer, bare vanvid
Når mænd, de græder
Med øjnene i stilhed
Drukner indeni, indtil blikket siger intet
Ik' had på din far
Bare giv ham kærlighed og lær ham at græde, ja
Lær ham at græde
For mænd, de græder (vi græder)
Vi græder (vi græder)
Vi græder, vi græder også
Ja, mænd, de græder (vi græder)
Vi græder (vi græder)
Vi græder, vi græder også
Hey daddy, jeg har issues
Jeg ved det ik' er din skyld
Det' livet and I miss you
Som om giften lever videre i mig
Jeg har lyst til at gøre alt det lort
Som der ødelagde dig
Hvad skal jeg gøre med mine tårer
Når de hober sig op?
Hvad skal jeg sige til mor?
Hun spørger om det går godt
Går på svarer
Ta' ud på en bar
Gør ligesom far, ja
For når mænd, de græder, er det altid
I en flask', i en streg, i en joint
I en pille, eller
En blanding af alting
Ingen tårer, bare vanvid, yeah
Når mænd, de græder
Med øjnene i stilhed
Drukner indeni, indtil blikket siger intet
Ik' had på din far
Bare giv ham kærlighed og lær ham at græde, ja
Lær ham at græde
For mænd, de græder (vi græder)
De græder (vi græder)
Vi græder, vi græder også
Ja, mænd, de græder (vi græder)
Vi græder (vi græder)
Vi græder, vi græder også

They want men in uniforms
Although that's a cliché
Behind the uniform, there's PTSD
We've learned to hide masculine tears away
Ever since recess
They'll just invite more beatings
Pull yourself together, yeah
Just man up
Put a lid on it all
Keep your screams inside yourself
In a little house in the countryside
Or a dark-grey block
Behind curtains making even the sun give up
'Cause when men cry
It's always into a bottle
A line of coke, a joint, a pill or
A concoction of it all
No tears, just madness
When men cry
With their silent eyes
Drowning on the inside until their gaze says nothing
Don't hate on your father
Just give him love
And teach him to cry, yeah
Teach him to cry
'Cause men cry
We cry, we cry
We cry too
Yeah, men cry
We cry, we cry
We cry too
Hey daddy, I've got issues
I know it's not your fault
It's life and I miss you
As though the poison lives on in me
I want to do all the shit
Which ruined you
What do I do with my tears
When they accumulate?
What do I tell mother?
She asks if I'm doing well
Letting it go to voicemail, going to a bar
Doing like dad, yeah
'Cause when men cry
It's always into a bottle
A line of coke, a joint, a pill or
A concoction of it all
No tears, just madness
When men cry
With their silent eyes
Drowning on the inside until their gaze says nothing
Don't hate on your father
Just give him love
And teach him to cry, yeah
Teach him to cry
'Cause men cry
We cry, we cry
We cry too
Yeah, men cry
We cry, we cry
We cry too
See, dad... I love you
From the deepest part of my heart, I love you
With all of our flaws
All the dreams you've had
All the broken dreams
All the demons you had to dance with
And I do see through it
And I fucking love you
And I love your father
I love [the] men... all the men before... before him
'Cause I know my dad has tried
