Cry Me A River
Eminem Ft Justin Timberlake Lyrics

You were my sun
You were the center of my world and made me feel alive.

You were my earth
You grounded me and gave me stability in life.

But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
Despite my efforts, you didn't fully understand or appreciate the depth of my love for you.

So you took a chance
You made a decision to pursue something or someone else.

And made other plans
You moved on and made new plans that did not include me.

But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no
You did not expect your new plans to backfire or fail.

You don't have to say, what you did
I already know the truth about what you did.

I already know, I found out from him
Someone else told me the truth about what you did.

Now there's just no chance
We cannot be together again after what you did.

For you and me
Our relationship is over and cannot be salvaged.

There'll never be
There will never be a chance for us to reconcile or start anew.

And don't it make you sad about it?
Do you not feel any regret or remorse for what you did that caused us to end?

You told me you love me
You professed your love to me before, but it was not genuine.

Why did you leave me all alone?
You abandoned me and left me to deal with the pain and heartache alone.

Now you tell me you need me
You realize now that you need me in your life, but it is too late.

When you call me on the phone
You try to reach out to me after realizing your mistake.

Girl, I refuse
I do not want to reconcile or have anything to do with you anymore.

You must have me confused with some other guy
You are mistaken if you think that you can manipulate me or win me back now.

The bridges were burned
Our relationship was destroyed and cannot be repaired.

Now it's your turn, to cry
It is now your turn to feel the same pain and sadness that you caused me.

So cry me a river
Let the tears flow just like a river to show the depth of your regret and sorrow.

You know that they say that some things are better left unsaid
Some truths are better kept hidden or not shared to spare someone from hurt or upset.

And it wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
You had a deeper relationship with the other person than just talking, and you are aware of it.

Don't act like you don't know it
Do not pretend or deny the truth of what happened.

And all of these things people told me
Others confided in me and shared information about what really happened.

Keep messin' with my head (messin' with my head)
All of the conflicting information and emotions cause me confusion and distress.

Should've picked honesty
You should have been truthful from the beginning to prevent all of this pain and heartbreak.

Then you may not have blown it
If you had been honest, we may have had a chance to work things out.

The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving
The relationship is beyond repair, and I have to move on and leave it behind.

Cry me a river
Express your remorse and sadness through tears, just like a river that flows endlessly.
