[Verse 1]
I know thoughts you don't want in your head
Are spinnin' round-round-round
I know you got demons from the past
Slowin' you down-down-down
But you don't answer your FaceTime
You never had much of a poker face
It doesn't make you less of a man
You're just human right now

[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm afraid of the world, when every part of me hurts
You don't know how many times you've saved me
So why you hidin' from me? It's only makin' it worse
I just wanna be close, my baby

[Chorus]
Give me your pain, I'll take the weight off your shoulders
Don't be afraid, fall into me, let me hold ya
We weren't made to hold back the rain from the sky
Who ever told you that boys don't cry, boys don't cry?

[Verse 2]
Hate it when you shut me out
Actin' like it's your shit to figure out
Don't wanna be touched, don't wanna discuss
I get it, I just, uh
Now I'm in my head about what's in your head
Come back to bed, can we talk about it?
It's not stupid, it's not drama
It's just trauma turned to armor
Keepin' you from me, no performing
If you love me, come and touch me, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm afraid of the world, when every part of me hurts
You don't know how many times you've saved me
So why you hidin' from me? It's only makin' it worse
I just wanna be close, my baby

[Chorus]
Give me your pain, I'll take the weight off your shoulders
Don't be afraid, fall into me, let me hold ya
We weren't made to hold back the rain from the sky
Yeah, who ever told you that boys don't cry, boys don't cry?

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Boys don't cry, boys don't cry
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Boys don't cry, boys don't cry

[Bridge]
Come, my baby, lay your head on me
Lay your head on me, lay your head on me
Come, my baby, lay your head on me
Lay your head on me, lay your head on me (You know I got ya)
Come, my baby, lay your head on me (And you know I'd do anything for ya)
Lay your head on me, lay your head on me
Come, my baby, lay your head on me
Lay your head on me, lay your head on me

[Chorus]
Give me your pain, I'll take the weight off your shoulders
Don't be afraid, fall into me, let me hold ya
We weren't made to hold back the rain from the sky
Who ever told you that boys don't cry, boys don't cry?

[Outro]
Ooh-oh
Boys don't cry, boys don't cry

Camila Cabello

Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao is a Cuban-American singer born on March 3, 1997, in Cojímar, Havana, Cuba. For the first five years of her life, Cabello lived in Cuba and Mexico before relocating to Miami, Florida. Cabello dropped out of her 2012/13 high school year to pursue a career in singing (although she did receive her diploma). For her quinceanera, Camila asked her parents to drive her to North Carolina, so she could audition for the second season of The X Factor US. Barely making it into the competition, she was granted an “alternate” role who was only able to audition if they had time. Eventually, she along with Dinah Jane Hansen, Ally Brooke Hernandez, Lauren Jauregui and Normani Kordei were tapped to form multi-platinum girl group, Fifth Harmony. The collective released many chart-toppers with the highest being “Work From Home” peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

During this time, Cabello collaborated with Canadian artist Shawn Mendes on “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” as well as American rapper Machine Gun Kelly on “Bad Things,” which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

She remained part of the group until the 19th of December 2016, where the four remaining members announced via their official Twitter account that Camila had decided to leave the group to pursue a solo career. Camila then confirmed this by posting a statement on her Twitter account.
