Crocodile Tears
Beka Desantis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Should'a seen you coming like a snake on the sly
You're so multisided that I'm losing my mind
You let me fall for a while,
You said you were sorry you slipped yet again,
Crying like a child with your knees on the floor
so I'm saying what I should'a said
before, oh before, oh before-
Cry me an ocean with your crocodile tears,
Try but it's over, you faked enough with me,
And I'm done with you and all you put me through
with your double dealing crocodile tears
Yesterday you called me with your eye on a prize
You tried to confuse me so I'd change my mind
Sounded like a ballad on the phone
Listing off excuses I've excused you before
Putting on a show worth an acting award
And I loathe your melodrama
even more, even more, even more-
Cry me an ocean with your crocodile tears,
Try but it's over, you faked enough with me,
And I'm done with you and all you put me through
with your double dealing crocodile tears
You can beg for me, plead for me, fall down to your knees
but I'm done with you, you faked enough with me
You can tell me that your sorry, come back pounding on my heart
but this time you'll see it's like beating on steel-
Cry me an ocean with your crocodile tears,
try but it's over, you faked enough with me
and I'm done with you and all you put me through
with your double dealing crocodile tears
Cry me an ocean with your crocodile tears,
It's really really over, you faked enough with me
and I'm done with you and all you put me through




with your double dealing crocodile tears,
crocodile tears

Overall Meaning

In "Crocodile Tears", Beka Desantis sings about a deceitful person who uses emotional manipulation to gain advantage over their victim. The lyrics depict how the singer falls for the lies and apologies of this person, only to be hurt again and again. The metaphor of "crocodile tears" is used to describe these fake displays of emotion, referencing the false tears crocodiles are said to shed while eating their prey. The song opens with the singer acknowledging that they should have seen the deception coming, but the perpetrator was so "multisided" that they lost their grip on reality. The chorus repeats the demand for the other person to cry "an ocean" of tears, acknowledging that they will never be able to make up for the pain they have caused. The second verse portrays how the other person uses excuses and melodrama to manipulate the situation, while the last verse is a firm rejection of all attempts to come back into the singer's life.


The lyrics of "Crocodile Tears" are a warning to those who might fall victim to deceitful behavior. They showcase how emotional manipulation can be used to gaslight and control a person, and how difficult it can be to recognize the patterns of abuse. The use of the crocodile tears metaphor is particularly effective, as it portrays the other person as a predator who enjoys causing pain. Overall, the song is a powerful message of self-respect and a call to awareness about toxic relationships.

Lyrics

I've been a crocodile my whole life
I just figured it out for myself
Everyone telling me didn't help
How can you tell me to be different
Then, when I am different, you will laugh at me instead
How could you tell me to be different
Then, when I am different, you will laugh at me instead

ahwooh

Crocodile tear is falling down my face
I want you to cry for me
I want you to be sorry
For the things that you've done
Made it hard for me to have fun
There's things that you've done
Crocodile sitting all alone
Painting nails a shade of pink
To match princess peach's cheek
Maybe they will think I'm beautiful
Maybe I can trick them

I've been a crocodile my whole life
I tried to fit in, but I always stood out
My claws are too sharp
My thoughts are too dark
And I keep eating all of my friends

owaaooh
She's crying alone
A deceitfully crocodile in the nile

uuhh uuuhh

How could you tell me to be different? Then, when I am different, you will laugh at me
You will laugh at me
