Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then you win
And if you're trying to love me, like I love you
Then we win
And if you're trying to finish what we started, then we'll lose the love
And I don't wanna lose ya
Are you trying to make me cry (7x)
I believe in us, and I really do
I can barely take it, can't get over you
If you're trying to lose me then you're going the right way boy
I can't take this shit much more and staring at the door
Start to love me like I love you, treat me good
I give you a lot I love you a lot tell me why I should
If you're trying to hurt me like I hurt you then you win
I can't turn back the clock, take what I got
Give me everything
If you're trying to hurt me, like I hut you
Then you win
And if you're trying to love me, like I love you
Then we win
And if you're trying to finish what we started, then we'll lose the love
And I don't wanna lose ya
Are you trying to make me cry (7x)
Stop trying cause am dying
Its gota stop we argue a lot no matter what we do
Be careful what you're saying because am trying to stay with you
So let's make a future plan, cause this aint the way of living boy
I know that I hurt you bad, boy I know that I hurt you bad
Baby it's time to face it, to know that you want this too
And if you want to save this, then we both know what you can do
Aint no point in looking back, and I know that I love you mad
So quite how you act don't turn your back
Think about what we have
If you're trying to hurt me, like I hut you
Then you win
And if you're trying to love me, like I love you
Then we win
And if you're trying to finish what we started, then we'll lose the love
And I don't wanna lose ya
Are you trying to make me cry (7x)
Stop trying cause am dying
Are you trying to make me cry (7x)
Stop trying cause am dying
The lyrics in Cheryl Cole's song Make Me Cry express the internal conflict of a lover who is trying to determine the intentions of their partner. The chorus acknowledges the possibility that the partner might be trying to end the relationship by causing the lover emotional pain, and the lover views this as a potential loss for them. The lyrics also suggest that if the partner is willing to reciprocate the same level of love and dedication, they could both win and continue the relationship. However, if the partner continues to act in a way that hurts the lover, it will ultimately lead to the end of the relationship. The verses of the song express the lover's struggle in trying to hold on to the relationship while processing the pain that their partner has caused.
Overall, the song is a plea to the partner to either commit or to let go of the relationship. It highlights the importance of honesty and commitment in relationships, and the potential consequences of dishonesty and hurtful behavior.
