She don't throw any t-shirt on and walk to a bar She don't text her friends and say, I gotta get laid tonight She don't say, it's okay, I never loved him anyway She don't scroll through her phone just looking for a Band-Aid It's different for girls when their hearts get broke They can't tape it back together with a whiskey and Coke They don't take someone home and act like it's nothing They can't just switch it off every time they feel something A guy gets drunk with his friends and he might hook up Fast forward through the pain, pushing back when the tears come on But it's different for girls She don't sleep all day and leave the house a wreck She don't have the luxury to let herself go She won't call just to curse from a wall, she can push When the going gets tough, yeah, the guys they can just act tough It's different for girls when their hearts get broke They can't tape it back together with a whiskey and Coke They don't take someone home and act like it's nothing They can't just switch it off every time they feel something A guy gets drunk with his friends and he might hook up Fast forward through the pain, pushing back when the tears come on But it's different for girls It's different for girls Nobody said it was fair When love disappears, they can't pretend it was never there A guy gets drunk with his friends and he might hook up Fast forward through the pain, pushing back when the tears come on When the going gets tough, yeah, the guys they can just act tough So tough It's different for girls It's different for girls
