Cry Me A River
Lost Prophets Lyrics

You were my sun
You were the source of light and warmth in my life.

You were my earth
You were my support system and foundation.

But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
You were unaware of the depth and extent of my love for you.

So you took a chance
You made a decision to pursue something different.

And made other plans
You changed the course of our relationship.

I bet you didn't think that this would come crashing down, no
You probably didn't anticipate the consequences of your actions.

You don't have to say, what you did,
You don't need to explain your actions to me.

I already know, I found out from him
I already know what happened, I learned the truth from someone else.

Now there's just no chance, for you and me, you'll never see
Our relationship is irreparably damaged and there is no chance of reconciliation.

And don't it make you sad about it
You must feel regretful and upset about the way things turned out.

You told me you loved me
You expressed your love for me.

Why did you leave me, all alone
You abandoned me and left me feeling isolated and lonely.

Now you tell me you need me
Now you are saying that you require my presence and support.

When you call me, on the phone
During your phone calls with me.

Girl I refuse, you must have me confused ...
I reject your advances, you must be mistaken about my feelings towards you.

With some other guy
You are confusing me with another person, perhaps the one you cheated on me with.

Your bridges got burned, now it's your turn ...
You have destroyed our relationship, and now you will experience the same pain and heartbreak.

To cry!
You will shed tears and feel emotional turmoil.

I know that they say ...
I am aware of the common saying that some things are better left unsaid.

That some things are better left unsaid
There are certain things that are better not to be voiced out.

But, it wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
However, it's a fact that you had more than just a conversation with him.

(Don't act like you don't know it)
You are not oblivious to this fact, don't pretend otherwise.

All of these things that people told me...
Others have revealed certain things to me.

Keep messing with my head
It has caused me confusion and distress.

(Messing with my head)
It has affected me mentally.

You should've picked honesty
Being truthful would have been the better option.

Then you may not have blown it
If you had been honest, our relationship may still have been intact.

The damage is done
The harm has already been inflicted.

So I guess I be leaving
Therefore, I suppose I should depart from you and our relationship.

Cry me a river
Let your tears flow, let your emotions take over.

(Go on and just)
Give in and let it happen.

(Baby go on and just)
Come on, you can do it.

(You can go on and just)
You have the permission to express yourself.

(Cause I've already cried)
I have already experienced the emotional distress, it's your turn now.

(Don't cry no more)
The time for tears has passed, it's time to move on.

Cry me a river, oh x4
Let your tears flow continuously.

(Cry me, cry me)
Keep crying, let your sorrow out.

Cry me a river, oh x5
Keep on crying, keep on expressing your emotions.
