Yodo - Men Don't Cry / Alone With My Truth

 

I tried to act unbreakable, 

Tried to hold a steady face. 

People said I should be strong, 

But they never lived my place.

 

Life kept hitting harder, 

Every breath felt like a test. 

I kept saying “I’m alright,” 

But there’s a riot in my chest. 

 

 And I learned the price of trying 

When the ones I loved stopped caring. 

 

So here I am, alone with my truth, 

Fighting storms I hid in my youth. 

Even giants break inside, 

Even brave ones hurt sometimes. 

 

If the world can’t understand me, 

Let the tears fall till they free me. 

I’m alone with my truth tonight 

And somehow… it feels right.... 

 

They said “Men don’t cry,”  

So I drowned in silent pain. 

Tried to hold the world together, 

But it crushed me day by day. 

 

When I needed someone near, 

All I found was empty space. 

They loved me when life was bright, 

Left me cold when I misplaced. 

 

And I learned the price of giving 

 When no one wants your living. 

 

So here I am, alone with my truth,  

Fighting storms I hid in my youth. 

Even giants break inside, 

Even brave ones hurt sometimes. 

 

 If the world can’t understand me, 

Let the tears fall till they free me. 

I’m alone with my truth tonight 

And somehow… it feels right. 

 

 I’m human, I can bleed, 

Don’t care who disagrees. 

I’ve carried too much weight, 

Let me rest, let me break. 

 

If all I have is me, 

Then that will be enough. 

 

 So here I am, alone with my truth, 

Done with hiding what I go through.  

Even giants break inside, 

Even brave ones hurt sometimes. 

 

 If the world won’t stand beside me, 

Let the tears fall till they free me.

 I’m alone with my truth tonight — 

And finally… I feel light.
