Cry You Out Of My Heart
Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're saying goodbye
But you say it's best we should part
I'm gonna hurrying you out of my mind
And cry you out of my heart
I thought that you would always be true
But I was mistaken it seems
And cry you out of my dreams
I try to pretend this isn't the end
But that's not so easy I find
I should gay and call it day
But you know me the sentimental kind
Somebody new means heaven to you
You're leaving to make a new start
I'm gonna hurrying you out of my mind
And cry you out of my heart
I try to pretend this isn't the end
But that's not so easy I find
I should gay and call it day
But you know me the sentimental kind
Somebody new means heaven to you
You're leaving to make a new start
I'm gonna hurrying you out of my mind
And cry you out of my heart
The lyrics of Ella Fitzgerald's "Cry You Out Of My Heart" tell the story of a breakup. The singer is surprised that they are parting ways and uncertain why it's happening, but they reluctantly accept that it's for the best. However, they struggle to let go of their feelings for their former partner. The singer tries different methods to forget their ex, such as filling their mind with other things and hoping they'll eventually move on. But the reality is that it's not easy to let go, especially when they're the "sentimental kind." The song suggests that the singer will continue to mourn the loss for some time to come.
This song speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak. Sometimes we don't understand why relationships end, and it can be hard to move on even when it's the healthiest thing to do. Fitzgerald's voice adds poignancy to these lyrics, conveying the depth of the singer's pain. In many ways, the fact that the song is focused on the aftermath of a breakup rather than the details of the relationship itself makes it relatable to a wide audience. Almost everyone has experienced the pain of letting go when someone they loved is no longer around.
