Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not even once
I don't sleep in your T-shirt, I gave it away
In a black bag with the rest of your stuff
I don't drink to forget you
I drink to have fun
Tonight I'ma let go and kiss someone
Can't think of the reason why my eyes have started burning
I'm just PMSing, or the world is too depressing
I swear every weekend must be allergy season
I'm crying, dancing
Thank you for understanding
It's not my heart that's breaking
It's just these shoes are killing me
I'm crying, dancing
It's really quite outstanding
It's not my heart that's breaking
It's just the songs are playing me
I'm hanging in the bathroom and she's giving me a tissue
Feeling kinda sorry for the girls with all these issues
I'm so glad I'm happy, I'm not missing anybody
I'd climb up to the bar, 'cause it's coming over hard
I'm crying, dancing
Thank you for understanding
It's not my heart that's breaking
It's just these shoes are killing me
I'm crying, dancing
It's really quite outstanding
It's not my heart that's breaking
It's just the songs are playing
I'm just cry-y-y, y-y-y, y-y-y, cry dancing
I'm just cry-y-y, y-y-y, y-y-y, cry dancing
Cry
No more thinking about you, no
Not even once
I don't sleep in your T-shirt
I'll dance in it tonight
Yeah, I'm gonna dance in it
I'm crying, dancing
Thank you for understanding
It's not my heart that's breaking
It's just these shoes are killing me
I'm crying, dancing
It's really quite outstanding
It's not my heart that's breaking
It's just the songs are playing
I'm just cry-y-y, y-y-y, y-y-y, cry dancing
I'm just cry-y-y, y-y-y, y-y-y, cry dancing
You know, it's not my heart that's breaking
Cry-y-y, y-y-y, y-y-y, cry dancing
Cry-y-y, y-y-y, y-y-y, cry dancing
The song "Cry Dancing" by NOTD and Nina Nesbitt is a bittersweet breakup anthem that captures the conflicting emotions of moving on from someone you once loved. The lyrics suggest that the singer has done everything possible to let go of her ex-lover, including giving away their T-shirt and all their other belongings, but still can't help but feel hurt and lonely. She tries to drown her sorrows in alcohol and forget about her ex by dancing with someone else, but even that can't stop her from crying and feeling the pain of loss.
The chorus is particularly poignant, as she thanks the person who understands that she's not really heartbroken, but rather just struggling with the physical pain of wearing uncomfortable shoes and being overwhelmed by the music. The line "It's not my heart that's breaking, it's just these shoes are killing me" is a clever play on words that sums up the emotional and physical discomfort she's experiencing.
The bridge of the song provides a moment of reflection and gratitude for the singer, as she realizes how lucky she is to be happy and not missing anyone at the moment. She also empathizes with other women who are struggling with their own issues and finds comfort in the support of a friend who hands her a tissue in the bathroom.
Overall, "Cry Dancing" is a relatable and catchy pop song that captures the complicated emotions of moving on after a breakup. The mix of upbeat dance music with melancholy lyrics creates a unique and memorable sound that is sure to resonate with listeners.
