Cry
Jay Sean(제이 션) Lyrics

I need to see you cry
The singer wants to see their partner cry as a sign of their emotional pain and vulnerability.

I wanna, I wanna see you cry
The singer strongly desires to witness their partner's tears as proof of the depth of their feelings.

Won't rest until I see you cry
The singer is consumed by their need to witness their partner's emotional pain and will not stop until they achieve this goal.

Yeah I cry, I cry, I cry
The artist is also dealing with their own emotional pain and is perhaps subconsciously hoping to see their partner suffer as well.

Had me convinced that I just wasn't enough,
The artist believed that their actions were to blame for the relationship's problems and their partner had convinced them of this belief.

Me and you fussing and fighting cussing all of that stuff,
The singer and their partner were engaging in verbal arguments, using profanity and other heated language.

Now I know, that I might've done you wrong,
The singer realizes that they may have caused their partner emotional pain or been responsible for some misunderstanding.

Didn't know I'd pay so long, 'til you did the same
The artist did not anticipate that their behavior would have such long-lasting consequences until their partner engaged in similar actions against them.

I know I'd done you wrong I was making it up to you,
The artist acknowledges their mistake and was trying to make amends to their partner.

I apologized in a million ways but I thought that was that,
The artist expressed their remorse in various ways but believed that their apology was sufficient to resolve the conflict.

But I guess you got me back,
The singer's partner took actions to get back at them in a similar manner as payback for their previous actions.

Didn't know it'd be like that, but you did the same
The artist did not anticipate the severity of their partner's retaliation, nor could they have anticipated the amount of pain it would cause.

Now we're caught in a circle
The singer and their partner are stuck in an unhealthy pattern of behavior where they continue to hurt each other repeatedly.

A constant battle
The relationship has devolved into a constant struggle, with negativity and conflict overshadowing any positive aspects.

The day that you hurt me
The singer pinpointed the specific incident that caused the relationship to deteriorate further.

The clouds cast a shadow on us
The negative event had a lasting effect on the relationship, causing a metaphorical shadow to loom over it and follow them around.

And I hope that your happy we're even now, so cry baby cry
The artist believes that their partner's emotional pain is a form of retribution or justice for their actions and is satisfied to see them suffering, urging them to cry further.

Before the love just turns to hate,
The singer wants to prevent the relationship from disintegrating completely, from their current state of heartbreaking bitterness to one of outright hostility.

Before I ask for you to stay,
The singer wants to work on fixing the relationship before asking their partner to continue being a part of it.

And just before you walk away, yeah
The artist is aware that their partner is considering leaving, and wants to intervene before it is too late.

What is this? What happens to relationships?
The artist is bewildered by the transformation of their relationship into an acrimonious mess and cannot believe it has come to this.

Started off so good and ended up so bad
The artist reflects on how promising the relationship initially was, only to end up being a huge disappointment.

Baby I just wanna know,
The singer still holds onto some semblance of caring for their partner and wants to know what went wrong.

Ooh tell me do you know, baby
The artist wants their partner to share their perspective and thoughts on why the relationship ended up in such a sorry state.

Before we knew it we were at it again,
The singer and their partner kept repeating the same patterns of behavior despite their past experiences and lessons.

No no no, somehow I don't think we can ever be friends,
The singer realizes that the relationship has deteriorated irreversibly and that reconciliation into a platonic friendship is unlikely.

Wish it wasn't so, wish it wasn't so, but you did the same
The singer wishes things were different and that their partner didn't act the way that they did, causing the relationship to spiral out of control.

So we go on and on on this merry go round,
The artist and their partner have been stuck in a dangerous loop of hurt and destruction, with no end in sight.

Trying to chase a love that can never be found,
The artist and their partner cannot seem to find genuine love and acceptance in their relationship and are engaging in futile efforts to try to salvage it.

Time to say goodbye and step off of it now,
The singer is accepting that it is time to end the relationship and move on from their painful cycle of behavior.

It's over girl, it's over
The singer is making a definitive statement, announcing that the relationship is officially finished and there is no turning back.

Until your tears run dry, dry, dry, Like the deserts need the rain, Want your tears to fall down on me
The artist has a strong desire to see their partner cry, wants their tears to fall down on them like rain and yes, they want to keep it like that for a while as a form of emotional payback for their suffering.
