Cry for Me
Pailboy and the Tom Toms Lyrics

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
I know it'll be hard to grasp what I'm feeling and the decisions I've made.

When I try to explain how I feel
I want to express my emotions to you.

That I still need your love after all I've done
Despite my past actions, I still require your love.

You won't believe me
I anticipate you won't accept my words.

All you will see is a girl you once knew
You'll only see the person I was before, not who I am now.

Although she's dressed up to the nines
Even though I've put on a facade of happiness.

At sixes and sevens with you
I feel uneasy and discombobulated around you.

I had to let it happen, I had to change
I had to let go of my old self and alter my ways.

Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
I couldn't continue living in a meager and depressed state.

Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
I was watching life pass me by, avoiding new experiences and taking no risks.

So I chose freedom
I decided to gain independence and explore new options.

Running around trying everything new
I'm seeking out various options in life to try.

But nothing impressed me at all
Despite my efforts, nothing seemed to be what I was looking for.

I never expected it to
Although I hoped, I remained realistic and didn't get my hopes up.

Don't cry for me Argentina
Please don't feel sorrowful over my sake, Argentina.

The truth is I never left you
In my heart and mind, I never truly left you behind.

All through my wild days my mad existence
Throughout all the chaos and craziness I've experienced.

I kept my promise
I followed through on my commitment to you.

Don't keep your distance
Don't push me away or stay aloof.

And as for fortune, and as for fame
Regarding wealth and success.

I never invited them in
I never let them control me or become my main focus.

Though it seemed to the world
Despite what others may have thought or assumed.

They were all I desired
They weren't my true wishes, but they seemed like it at times.

They are illusions
They're not real or attainable goals, merely a mirage.

They're not the solutions they promised to be
Wealth and fame won't solve my problems as they purported they would.

The answer was here all the time
The solution was with me all along.

I love you and hope you love me
I care for you and desire your affection.

Have I said too much?
Have I overshared or given away too much detail about my feelings?

There's nothing more
I've said all that's needed to be said.

I can think of to say to you
I can't come up with anything else to utter to you.

But all you have to do is look at me
You only need to gaze at me to see the truth in my statements.

To know that every word is true
You'll recognize that everything I've said is authentic.
