Benny – Boys Will Be Boys

Subtitled music video

Official lyrics

I’m so tired of your illusions and rules,
they never change.
And my mind is so abusive
from taking on the shapes.
When it comes to your love,
is it unconditional?
When it comes to my love,
anything is fixable.
And all this noise is so relentless,
I need a second to breathe.
‘Cause if boys will be boys,
and we do the best that we can.
Cover for our brothers
while we suffer from our own hands.
Boys will be boys,
that’s the way that this thing goes.
When mothers lose their sons
and their fathers watch them go.
Fathers watch them go.
When mothers lose their sons
and their fathers watch them go.
I’m no longer taking lessons
from those that broke before.
Now that I am done confessing
the words have left me sore.
When you feel the restless pain
as it crawls out of your heart
and the thoughts of yesterday
bring you to where you are.
And all these voices that once controlled me,
they can’t contain me here.
‘Cause if boys will be boys,
and we do the best that we can.
Cover for our brothers
while we suffer from our own hands.
Boys will be boys,
that’s the way that this thing goes.
When mothers lose their sons
and their fathers watch them go.
Fathers watch them go.
When mothers lose their sons
and their fathers watch them go.
Tell me, how it feels to win it?
Has it gone according to your plan?
Do you wish that you’d forget it?
Or do you feel less like a human?
Oh, if boys don’t cry, not a man am I.
Not a day goes by that I’ve had to lie
about who I was before, since I closed that door.
And it’s all white noise,
that boys must be boys.
‘Cause if boys will be boys,
and we do the best that we can.
Cover for our brothers
while we suffer from our own hands.
Boys will be boys,
that’s the way that this thing goes.
When mothers lose their sons
and their fathers watch them go.
Fathers watch them go.
When mothers lose their sons
and their fathers watch them go.
Fathers watch them go.
When mothers lose their sons
and their fathers watch them go.
