Cry for Me
In Heaven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Music: Manolis Varouhas, Lyrics: Manolis Varouhas]

If I was wrong... you would be full of lies
If I was wrong... You wouldn't cry, nor dream
But now it's done... and I feel so damn-empty
If I was wrong... I wish I was wrong!!!
Pray for me! My soul is dying, Cry for me! My body's gone
Now I'm dead, your heart has broken. Die with me, cause I am you...
I can remember... my life was full of memories
And I can see... your pretty face smiling
If I would be... all that you ever wanted
If I would be... I wish I would be!!!
Pray for me! My soul is dying, Cry for me! My body's gone
Now I'm dead, your heart has broken, Die with me, cause I am you...




Never be dying, My soul will be flying
And you will live in my heart, forever...

Overall Meaning

The opening line of the song, "If I was wrong... you would be full of lies", sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. There is a sense of regret and remorse in the song, with the singer wishing they had done things differently. They recognize that their actions have hurt someone they care about deeply and desperately want them to cry for them and their empty, dying soul. The line "Now I'm dead, your heart has broken. Die with me, cause I am you..." suggests that the two were one and the same, so closely intertwined that the singer's death means the end of both of their lives.


The chorus of the song, with its emphasis on crying and praying, creates a mournful atmosphere. The singer knows they have caused pain and wants to be remembered after they're gone. The final lines of the song, "Never be dying, My soul will be flying/And you will live in my heart, forever..." suggest that there is some hope for the future - even though the singer has died, their spirit will endure and the person they care about will always hold a special place in their heart.


Overall, the song speaks to the human experience of loss and regret, and the desire for a sense of closure and understanding.
