Lyrics:
In my room, lives a boy who could be blue,
And you might never know, oh, oh
You think he‘s cavalier, he would shed more than a crocodile tear,
If you‘d go, oh
Hearts they get broken, God only knows why,
And sometimes airplanes, fall down from the sky,
And mountains they crumble, and rivers they run dry,
And oh, boys do cry
When night falls, and the moon is all we see,
Don‘t fear the wolf that lives in me, oh, oh
You think he‘s tough enough, he would cry love till the sun comes up,
If you go, ooh
Hearts they get broken, God only knows why,
And sometimes airplanes, fall down from the sky,
And mountains they crumble, and rivers they run dry,
And oh, boys do cry,
And how they cry
And mountains they crumble,
And rivers they run dry,
And oh,
Boys do cry
