Don't Cry Your Heart Out
Amy Diamond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When she talks to you - you never care to listen
When she walks with you - your eyes are always drifting
When you don't call her back
Though you promised her that
What's that got to say about you ?

When she calls for help - you rather call her helpless
She is there for you - why are you so selfish
When you lie to her face
With a smile on your face
What's that got to say about you ?

So don't cry your heart out
when she's nuthin' but a memory
our heart out - cause your tears ain't worth a penny

Oh my brother brother
You will soon discover
What it's like to have the blues
And no-one cries for you

Tell me who are you - to shame and mistreat her
No she's not a man - but you're not one either
Now you need to be checked
If you think for a sec
That karma won't come back to haunt you

When she's had enough - begging will be useless
When she's all fed up - it's too late for excuses
When she leaves you behind
At the drop of a dime
Pretty words won't even matter

So don't cry your heart out
when she's nuthin' but a memory
our heart out - cause your tears ain't worth a penny

Oh my brother brother
You will soon discover
What it's like to have the blues
And no-one cries for you

2Xno-one cries for you

Then you'll see , then you'll know
That you reap what you sow
So don't weep, no don't go - cry(in) your heart out

You don't know. what you got
Til it's gone - and you stop
and you think . but do not - cry your heart out





(Chorus)
