CryCry
Louque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like you knew I wouldn't do
Cry, cry for you
Just like a song in the last light
Should I leave it all away
Not like the kindness that you gave
That's why it never seems the same
I stood behind when no one asked me
And took you home after the fight
I drove my car into city lights
Drove down the road that I am on
Cry, cry for you
That's what you think I want to be
Cry, cry for you
An empty heart that sees me through
Cry, cry for you
Just like you knew I wouldn't do
Cry cry for you
Just like a song in the last light
Cry, cry for you
Just like you knew I wouldn't do
In Louque's song CryCry, the lyrics seem to be about a person who is torn between staying and leaving a relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase “Cry, cry for you” indicating that the person feels pressure to cry and show their emotions for their significant other just like their partner expects them to do. The lines “Just like you knew I wouldn't do” implies that this is something the person has been asked to do before but has not been able to follow through.
The second verse reveals that the person has been doing things for their partner, such as standing behind them during fights and driving them home afterward, but still feels uncertain about the relationship. The line “Not like the kindness that you gave” suggests that there might be some discrepancy between the love and kindness shown by the partner and what the person is feeling in return. The phrase “That's why it never seems the same, behind your eyes" implies that the person is unable to connect with their partner on an emotional level and can see the difference in their partner's eyes. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, indicating that the person is still unsure about whether to leave the relationship or not.
