Cry Cry Cry
Katie Armiger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't come on over tonight
It'll end in the same fight
That we always lose
Don't bother to pick up your phone
'Cause I won't be home
Any time you do
Saying goodbye is such a simple thing
But it breaks my heart every time I hit that off footing

So just go on home, I don't want you around no more
I wish you'd cry, cry, cry for me
So just go on home, I'm better off being alone
Just try try try forgetting me
Forgetting me

It won't matter how many times
You beg and plead then lie
So get off your knees
I don't care if you want me or not
Cause either way I'm done
I'm through with you
Leaving you is the hardest
But being with you is like trying to see in the dark

Just go on home, I don't want you around no more
I wish you'd cry, cry, cry for me
So just go on home, I'm better off being alone
Just try try try forgetting me
Forgetting me

It's gonna be hard to give you off
But sometimes love is just not enough

Just go on home, I don't want you around no more
I wish you'd cry, cry, cry for me
So just go on home, I'm better off being alone
Just try try try forgetting me

So just go on home, I don't want you around no more
I wish you'd cried, cried, cried for me
So just go on home, I'm better off being alone
Just try try try forgetting me




Forgetting me

Overall Meaning

In "Cry Cry Cry" by Katie Armiger, the singer is sending a message to her lover that she no longer wants anything to do with him. She tells him not to come over because every time they do, they end up fighting and she's tired of it. She's not interested in picking up the phone or hearing his lies and pleas because she's done with the relationship. She acknowledges that saying goodbye may seem simple, but it's breaking her heart every time she tries. She wishes that he would be the one crying, rather than her. As much as leaving him is hard, being with him is harder and she wants to move on and forget about him.


The emotions in this song run deep as Armiger delivers a message of heartbreak with a sense of resolve. She is tired of a love that is no longer serving her or her partner and she's willing to move on. The repetition of the phrase "cry, cry, cry" highlights her desire for him to feel the same pain that she is feeling. The use of the metaphor of seeing in the dark alludes to the confusion and uncertainty that the relationship has brought to her life. The sad tone and the heartbroken lyrics are a reminder that not all love stories have happy endings.
