Addicted to Crying
Miss Montreal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought it would happen to me
The long road went good, until last month
It seems to me that nobody stays
Everywone loses but I always win
They lay down beside me to say
And I wanna cry
To think, how did you get there, people just die
And I wanna cry
Seeing the usual of everything
Exept when I know that you're here
I feel a presence, I hate to know you're here
So that is why I live day by day
Everyone loses but I always win
They lay down beside me to say
Can you deal with this problem, that takes all your time
And I wanna cry
To think, how did you get there, people just die
And I wanna cry
And I wanna cry
I'm waiting for you to tell you I need you
I'm waiting for you to tell you I need you
I need you nowadays
I've been addicted to crying these days
I never thought it would happen to me
The long road went good, until last month
It seems to me that nobody stays
Miss Montreal's song "Addicted to Crying" speaks about a difficult period of the singer's life in which she's been struggling with a heavy burden. The first stanza explains her addiction to crying, which she acknowledges as a surprise as she never believed that she would become someone who cries frequently. She has been doing well for a long time up until the previous month, which seems like a critical turning point. She feels that nobody stays with her throughout this ordeal, and everyone leaves eventually. She feels alone with her pain, even when someone is physically present beside her. She is always the one to lose in these situations, leaving her feeling helpless and broken.
In the second stanza, the singer talks about how mundane everything else feels except for when the person she is addressing is around. There seems to be a presence that makes it unbearable for her to get through the day, and she is forced to live in the present, ignoring the future. Even with someone beside her, the singer still feels isolated and trapped with their grief. The chorus repeats that even though everyone else can move forward, she cannot. She needs to cry to let out her pain with tears being the only outlet that provides her with temporary relief. She speaks about being waiting for this person to let them know that she needs them as she is feeling particularly vulnerable and alone at this moment.
