Cry For Me
David Bisbal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You whisper in my ear
All the things I wanna hear
You say you're sorry and you can change
If I give you one more chance

But I've heard it all before
You can't hurt me anymore
All the lying and all the pain
Now there's nothing left to break

I know what you're feeling
Don't it hurt now
I hope it hurts so bad

Cry, I wanna see the tears
In your eyes for me
You've thrown it all away

There's nothing you can say
Just cry for me
Cry for me, cry for me

I've cried so many nights
With you lying by my side
And was so lonely in love with you
Now I feel like such a fool

But my tears have all run dry
Now I need to see you cry
For all that you have put me through
It's all coming back to you

Yes, I know
What you're feeling
Don't it hurt now?
I hope it hurts so bad

Cry, I wanna see the tears
In your eyes for me
You've thrown it all away

There's nothing you can say
Just cry for me
Cry for me, cry for me

I gave it all to you, baby
Again and again and again
I want it back now

I hope it hurts
I really hope it hurts you now
So cry for me

You've thrown it all away




There's nothing you can say
Just cry for me, cry for me

Overall Meaning

The song "Cry For Me" by David Bisbal is a powerful and emotional plea from a person who has had enough of their partner's lies and pain. The first verse expresses how the partner is trying to win them over with promises to change, but the singer has heard it all before and knows that they can't be hurt anymore. The chorus is a clear demand for the partner to show some remorse and cry for all the pain they have caused. The second verse tells us how the singer has cried many nights and how they now need to see the partner cry for them. The bridge is a more direct call-out to the partner, telling them that they hope it hurts so bad, and demanding that they cry for all they have done.


Overall, the song seems to be expressing a sense of strength and resolution following a period of deep hurt and heartache. It is as if the singer is demanding closure and justice through their partner's tears. The use of repetition in the chorus and the intense vocals of Bisbal drive the message home with an almost anthemic feel.


Line by Line Meaning

You whisper in my ear
You try to manipulate me with sweet nothings


All the things I wanna hear
You know exactly what to say to make me feel wanted


You say you're sorry and you can change
You make empty promises that you never keep


If I give you one more chance
You want another opportunity to hurt me


But I've heard it all before
Your words have lost their meaning, I don't believe you anymore


You can't hurt me anymore
I'm done letting you have power over me


All the lying and all the pain
You caused me so much suffering


Now there's nothing left to break
I've reached my breaking point, I won't let you hurt me anymore


I know what you're feeling
I understand the pain you're going through


Don't it hurt now

All I want from you is to see you truly sorry


I've cried so many nights
I've shed tears over how you've treated me


With you lying by my side
I've felt alone even when I was with you


And was so lonely in love with you
Loving you made me feel isolated and unhappy


Now I feel like such a fool
I regret ever giving you my love and trust


But my tears have all run dry
I can't cry anymore for you


Now I need to see you cry
I need you to feel the same pain I felt


For all that you have put me through
You caused me so much pain and heartache


It's all coming back to you
You're finally facing the consequences of your actions


I gave it all to you, baby
I gave you everything I had


Again and again and again
I kept giving you chances despite your past mistakes


I want it back now
I want the love and trust I gave you returned


So cry for me
I want you to feel the same pain I felt
