Don't Come Crying To Me
KSM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kind of funny how now you come around
What's the matter? didn't she work out?
There was me and you, now it's someone new
If she's smart she's gonna figure out

You're into yourself, you and nobody else
You take up all of your time so
When she leaves you don't come crying to me
If it breaks your heart don't look for sympathy
You had your chance, please understand
I might forgive but I can't forget
So when she's gone and you're lonely
Don't come crying to me, no

Some people never learn till the tables turn
What's the matter? did she lead you on
Just like you did to me? Tough it's history
It's stuck in my head like an overplayed song

You're into yourself, you and nobody else
It happens every time, so

When she leaves you don't come crying to me
If it breaks your heart don't look for sympathy
You had your chance, please understand
I might forgive but I can't forget
So when she's gone and you're lonely
Don't come crying to me, no

I heard it before but not anymore
You've been there, done it too many times
You never change, it's always the same
Maybe one day she'll realize

You're into yourself, you and nobody else
I'm really not surprised, one, two, three, four

When she leaves you don't come crying to me
If it breaks your heart don't look for sympathy
You had your chance, please understand
I might forgive but I can't forget
So when she's gone and you're lonely
Don't come crying to me

Don't come crying when she walks away
Don't come crying, it's way too late
Don't come crying, I don't wanna know




Don't come crying when you end up all alone
Don't come crying to me, no
