I Cried for You
Buttering Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cried for you
Your turn to cry over me
I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
What a fool I used to be

I cried for you
Your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning
That's one thing you're learning
That's one thing you're learning

Now I've found a heart just a little bit truer
Now I've found two eyes just a little bit bluer

I cried for you
Your turn to cry over me
I cried for you
What a fool I used to be




What a fool I used to be
What a fool I used to be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Buttering Trio's song "I Cried For You" speak of heartbreak and regret, as the singer reflects on their past mistakes and the pain they endured in a failed relationship. The song begins with the line "I cried for you, your turn to cry over me," indicating that the singer has finally moved on and that their former partner is now experiencing the same pain that they once felt. The repetition of the line "What a fool I used to be" emphasizes the singer's regret over their past actions, suggesting that they may have taken their former partner for granted or mistreated them in some way.


The second verse continues this theme of regret and growth, as the singer acknowledges that "every road has a turning" and that they have learned from their mistakes. The lines "now I've found a heart just a little bit truer, now I've found two eyes just a little bit bluer" suggest that the singer has moved on to a new relationship, one that is more fulfilling and genuine than their previous one. However, despite this newfound happiness, the singer is still haunted by the memories of their former partner, as evidenced by the repetition of the refrain "I cried for you, your turn to cry over me."


Overall, "I Cried For You" is a poignant reflection on the pain of heartbreak and the importance of growth and learning from our mistakes.

I can loop from 3:35 to 3:55 and just listen to that part over and over again. I am desperately searching songs that sounds like that part now since this morning.
