Lyrics

(VERSE 1)

I been holdin’ it together while you tear it apart

You keep playin’ like you innocent, but I know your heart

You been runnin’ ’round in circles, tryna cover your tracks

Now you lookin’ at me cryin’ like you want me back

You keep beggin’ for a minute like I owe you the time

But you never paid attention when the fault was mine

Now you say you finally get it, now you wanna deliver

If you need a place to let it out, go on—cry me a river

(PRE-CHORUS)

I gave you everything I had, you gave me reasons to leave

Now you wanna rewrite the story like I’m easy to please

But I’m done with the excuses, done with all of the games

You can keep your empty promises, I’m erasin’ your name

(CHORUS)

Cry me a river, boy, cry me a river

You can drown in all the tears that you saved for later

Cry me a river, boy, cry me a river

’Cause I’m done bein’ the one tryna make you better

(VERSE 2)

You been actin’ like you’re shattered, like you barely can breathe

But you never felt the pressure when it landed on me

I was holdin’ up the weight while you were lookin’ for thrills

Now you wanna talk commitment like you payin’ the bills

You keep sayin’ you were tryin’, but you never came through

Now you’re shocked I found the strength to walk away from you

You can blame it on the moment, blame it all on the liquor

But if you want somebody’s shoulder, go on—cry me a river

(PRE-CHORUS)

I gave you everything I had, you gave me reasons to leave

Now you wanna rewrite the story like I’m easy to please

But I’m done with the excuses, done with all of the games

You can keep your empty promises, I’m erasin’ your name

(CHORUS)

Cry me a river, boy, cry me a river

You can drown in all the tears that you saved for later

Cry me a river, boy, cry me a river

’Cause I’m done bein’ the one tryna make you better

(BRIDGE)

You only love me when I’m leavin’, only chase when I’m gone

Only fight for what you lost when you know you were wrong

But I’m not fallin’ for the story that you always deliver

If you wanna feel somethin’ real, go on—cry me a river

(FINAL CHORUS)

Cry me a river, boy, cry me a river

You can drown in all the tears that you saved for later

Cry me a river, boy, cry me a river

’Cause I’m done bein’ the one tryna make you better

Cry me a river, boy, cry me a river

I’m not stayin’ for a cycle that you’ll never consider

Cry me a river, boy, cry me a river

I’m the one that’s movin’ on—go on, cry me a river
