cry me a ariver
Justin Timberlake Lyrics

You were my sun
You were the center of my world and everything revolved around you.

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

But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
I loved you deeply, but you were oblivious to the many ways I expressed that love.

So you took a chance
You made a bold decision that changed the course of our relationship.

And made other plans
You pursued other interests and invested your time and energy in something else.

But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no
You didn't anticipate the consequences of your actions or expect them to have a negative impact.

You don't have to say, what you did
I already know what you did, and hearing it again from you won't change anything.

I already know, I found out from him
Someone else told me the truth about what happened between us.

Now there's just no chance
Our relationship is irreparably damaged and cannot be salvaged.

For you and me, there'll never be
We can never rekindle what we had and start anew.

And don't it make you sad about it?
The gravity of the situation should make you feel sorrowful about the outcome.

You told me you love me
You professed your love for me at one point in time.

Why did you leave me all alone?
Your sudden departure left me feeling abandoned and isolated.

Now you tell me you need me
Even though you left, you still have feelings for me and desire my presence.

When you call me on the phone
You reach out to me through technology instead of in person.

Girl, I refuse
I reject your advances and do not wish to reconcile.

You must have me confused with some other guy
I am not the type of person who will take you back after what you have done.

The bridges were burned
Our relationship was destroyed beyond repair.

Now it's your turn, to cry
You will experience the same pain and heartbreak that you inflicted upon me.

Cry me a river
Express your sadness and regret through tears.

You know that they say that some things are better left unsaid
There are certain things that are better off not being spoken or shared.

And it wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
You had a deeper connection with this person than what you are letting on.

Don't act like you don't know it
Stop pretending that you are innocent and unaware of what you have done.

And all of these things people told me
Rumors and gossip about you have been circulating and I have heard them all.

Keep messin' with my head (messin' with my head)
Your actions and words continue to confuse and upset me.

Should've picked honesty
If you had been truthful from the beginning, things may have turned out differently.

Then you may not have blown it (yeah)
Had you been honest, we might still have a chance to be together.

The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving
Our relationship is beyond repair, and it is time for me to move on.

Cry me a river (go on and just)
I urge you to let out your emotions and cry.

Oh (oh!)
Expressing surprise that someone could hurt you like this.

I don't wanna cry no more, yeah yeah
I am tired of being hurt and want to move on from this sorrowful chapter in my life.
