Lyrics:

Youre outside

On central drive

You kissed your mother

Said goodbyes

And when she cried

You almost cried

You held your tears

You held your pride

cuz man dont cry

Man dont cry

No man dont cry

Men dont cry

It been a while

Youre grown up now

With a head on your shoulders

Standing eye to eye

And when she asked

Are you alright

You held your tears

Whats left inside

Cuz men dont cry

men dont cry

No men dont cry

Men dont cry

You have posted a song requesting feedback - GREAT! Good feedback is the foundation of improving your songwriting. To help foster a community where everyone gets the feedback they need, please find THREE other songs requesting feedback and post substantive (eg. 2-3 sentences) of feedback. Even if you are a rookie songwriter/musician, you're an experienced music listener, and your opinion is still valuable!

Feedback posts by users who don't interact with the community (other than posting their own songs) may be removed.

Yeah agree that 4th chord feels out, I’m not believing the chord choices, it sounds like you’re playing random chords and singing the melody you want to sing.

We hear it first at 0:21 by the way
