I Cry 2 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mandy's on the counter kissin' Charlie's neck
And your best mate's girl to your best made bed
And that light, bright carpet you bought spankin' new
She got vandalised by stiletto abuse
Evidently damaged from your last relationship
'Cause if you was chill, you wouldn't call her a bitch
You been holdin' too many hands so you don't have to deal with it
Patch up your loneliness with someone to kiss

[Chorus]
But I won't tell if you don't want me to
Let's keep it between us, if that's what you want to do
And I know you're hurtin', but I know you're gettin' through
It's all right, mate, I cry too
It's all right, mate, I cry too

[Verse 2]
Everybody online keeps sayin' I'm not really gay
I'll start datin' men when they go to therapy
And I spеnd most of my days wonderin' what the fuck do they want from mе
When I'm not myself, I tell myself I gotta be (You know what I mean?)

[Chorus]
But I won't tell if you don't want me to
Let's keep it between us, if that's what you want to do
And I know you're hurtin', but I know you're gettin' through
It's all right, mate, I cry too
Oh-oh
I won't tell if you don't want me to
Let's keep a secret, if that's what you want to do
And I know you're hurtin', but I know you're gettin' through
It's all right, mate, I cry too
[Outro]
It's all right, mate, I cry too
It's all right, mate, I cry too
It's all right, mate, I cry too
It's all right, mate, I cry too

What did YUNGBLUD say about "I Cry 2"?
Genius Answer

‘Everyone online keeps saying I’m not really gay/I’ll start dating men when they go to therapy’—I love that line. It’s so playful. It’s probably going to get me in trouble, but I’m down. This song started because one of my mates was getting really upset and really emotional, but he found it really hard to express himself emotionally. There’s such a big stigma against males expressing their emotions. If you’re hurting, it means you’re alive. And, ‘Mandy’s on the counter kissing Charlie’s neck/And your best mate’s girl to your best made bed’ is a drug reference; it’s about MDMA and cocaine, but also a party where you’ve lost control. You don’t know who the fuck’s in your house because you’re blocking out real feelings so much.
