STUART DAVIS: All of you guys have got great voices, so be loud and proud. Yeah.

[music - 'Because Boys']

(singing) Everybody's got an idea about you, but what they think might not marry the truth. And when you push someone into a box, yeah, it's likely that they're gonna keep the door locked. I can feel it rising to the surface. Don't be a burden. I push it back down. A painted picture for the world to see. But is that who I really want to be?

Because boys, we hardly ever say it at all. Wait till we crash and we fall. Working on breaking my walls. Because boys.

Some days you are facing a battle. But too often, you keep it to yourself. It takes a lot for me to trust somebody because I'm too afraid that I'm gonna get hurt. Because boys, we hardly ever say it at all. Wait till we crash and we fall. Working on breaking my fall. Because boys.

Pick up the phone, call a friend. This is the time that we make amends. Change the road so others don't have to pretend.

Because boys, we hardly ever say it all. Wait till we crash and we fall, working on breaking my walls. Because boys, it feels like we don't have a choice. Get lost in finding our voice. We're all hiding under the noise. Because boys.

I'm working on breaking my walls. Because boys. I'm working on breaking my walls. Because boys. I'm working on breaking my walls.
