Don't Cry
Kevin Rudolf Lyrics

I got a letter in the mail today
Received a notice that something is going to be taken away, likely possessions or property.

They said they're gonna take it all away
The sender of the letter plans to take away the possessions or property.

I gotta get up there and make it right
The recipient of the letter has a plan to fix the situation and prevent the loss.

We'll be sleeping in the streets tonight
If the plan fails and possessions/property are taken away, the sender will be homeless.

And you don't have to wait up
Telling someone they don't need to wait for you to come back.

I'll be everything you dream
The singer will fulfill their partner's every desire.

And baby when you wake up
This is a promise for the future, that the partner will wake up to something good.

We'll be right back on our feet
Together, the artists will get back on track to whatever their aspirations were before.

So baby don't cry
Asking the partner to not worry, things will work out.

I know, I know
The artist has empathy and understands why the partner is upset.

That it hurts you
Acknowledging that the partner is experiencing pain.

Whenever I go
Implying that the partner is reacting to the way the artist left or is leaving.

So don't think
Instructing the partner not to have certain assumptions.

That I ran away
Denying an assumption that the partner has made.

Cause I'm comin' back for you one day
The singer will return to the partner, possibly proving them wrong.

I'm comin' back for you one day
Reiterating the artist's return to the partner.

I was leavin' from the local bar
The artist is admitting they were drinking before the accident.

I turn the corner and crash my car
Referring back to the accident the singer caused.

I told you I was at the grocery store
The singer is now revealing they lied to their partner about their whereabouts before the accident.

I guess you don't love me no more
The artist had an expectation of being supported by their partner during this tough time and now feels abandoned.

But I'm tryna find my way home
The artist is lost and most likely either didn't have a phone or lost it in the accident.

Searching for you aimlessly
The artist is upset and confused about their relationship and where to find their partner.

There's nothing left to say so
The singer feels as if there's no way to reconcile their current situation with their partner.

You can put the blame on me
The artist admits fault in their accident and its consequences.

When it falls apart I'll be there
The singer will help to pick up the pieces when something bad happens again.

When the skies get dark, no, don't be scared
An optimistic message about the future, encouraging the partner to have no fear.

Cause it's you and I till the day we die
The singer is promising to stay as long as they're alive.

I just want you to know
The artist is expressing their feelings as openly and transparently as possible.

Cause I'm comin' back for you some day
Restating the artist's intention to return to the partner.

I'm comin' back for you some day
Reiterating the singer's promise.

I'm comin' back for you some day
Trying to reiterate their point again or reaffirm that it will happen.
