Crybaby
Faith Paloma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, it's okay to be
A little broken and beat
But I'm alright with that
You're with me, relax
And you call it weak
Baby, you're just unique
Come out of the black
Never hold it back

You got such sad eyes, turn blue to grey
And it hurts me to see you hurt this way

Oh, go on and cry, baby, crybaby
'Cause you don't have to keep it inside (just cry, just cry)
Go on and cry, baby, crybaby
And there's no reason you got to hide (just cry, just cry)
A real man shows his feelings
Tears they can be healing
And I can be your savior tonight
So go on and cry, baby, crybaby
Just cry

You keep coming home drunk
And I don't know what's up
You can talk to me
Spare those whiskey dreams
Don't have to man up
That phrase kinda sucks
Let yourself be free
And open up to me

You got such sad eyes, turn blue to grey
And it hurts me to see you hurt this way

Oh, go on and cry, baby, crybaby
'Cause you don't have to keep it inside (just cry, just cry)
Go on and cry, baby, crybaby
And there's no reason you got to hide (just cry, just cry)
A real man shows his feelings
Tears they can be healing
And I can be your savior tonight
So go on and cry, baby, crybaby
Just cry, oh

Nothing's the end of the world
Feeling this pain and it's gonna be alright
One day you'll look back and know
It wasn't worth all the heartache
This could be the making of you
So let it all out, let it fall down, yeah

Oh, go on and cry, baby, crybaby (let me see you cry)
'Cause you don't have to keep it inside (just cry, just cry)
Go on and cry, baby, crybaby (let me see you cry)
And there's no reason you got to hide (just cry, just cry)
A real man shows his feelings
Tears they can be healing
And I can be your savior tonight
So go on and cry, baby, crybaby
Just cry, oh





Sweet darling
Let it all out

As cliche as it sounds, 4 things that are great for the mind and soul are 1. Get out and explore the world, country, county! Surround yourself in beauty and take it all in. Take a hike, explore, get lost with some good friends. Shoot some photos or paint a landscape and create some art. This is somewhat of a life saver for me personally, I had always enjoyed such things but decided to kick things up a gear after a tragic loss that pretty much ruined me and my health. It has provided a great hobby, a form of escapism, therapy, I have met some great people who have become great friends along the way and it has paved the way for me to work towards a professional career in photography.

2. Beautiful music. Kind of standard, music can touch anyone and carry them through bad times or good. Be it Classical or Liquid Drum & Bass, if it speaks to you it will! It's other people offering a creative gift that will bless you. Embrace it :)

3. A four legged friend- There's no doubting that coming home to a fluff ball of love is one of the best anti depressants, the unconditional love you get from a pet dog, cat or furry is second to none but it's a two way thing that requires a lot of responsibility to give it back so please don't take on a pet if you don't feel up to it!

4. Lastly Family, friends and strangers- I know when felling down or anxious, people are the last thing you want to deal with, even those you love! But I can get that 90% of the time you do it'll be a great time, worth it and benefit your mood. And remember that those we love, like everyone won't be around forever. Try and push the doubts and anxiety to the side and go make a memory with a loved one, you will honestly never regret it! :)

I know this sounds like a cheesy BuzzFeed style list, I can assure you it's not! Just another guy, relating with your post and sharing my experience

I don't understand why she isn't well known in America. She's far more talented than many of the female artists whose songs are played over and over on the radio.

Paloma is literally one of a kind. Musicians like her are really hard to come across. I love how her lyrics are so deep and touching and yet she can incorporate it with a melody that's catchy and almost upbeat, without compromising the impact of the message.

Floral Fancy

She gives me a caring motherly presence in this music video. And I really like that.

Bev Mordek

I have to say Paloma Faith really is an amazing singer. I never get tired of listening to her. She touches my heart. I'm a 77 year old granny and I just love her .
