Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over things you said to me; I couldn't even sleep
You forgot your promises, every single vow
All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
How can I forget the hours that I worried through
Wondering the live long day just what next thing to do?
In those days you never thought anything of me
But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning
I cried for you; what a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me

I remember other days how I used to weep
I recall past days when I used to cry due to the hurtful things you said to me
Over things you said to me; I couldn't even sleep
Your words tormented me so much that I could not even sleep
You forgot your promises, every single vow
You broke every promise and vow you made to me
All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now
You laughed at my pain and suffering, but now the tables have turned
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
I used to cry for you, but now it's your turn to feel the same pain
Every road has a turning
Life has its own twists and turns
That's one thing you're learning
You're now realizing that life can turn around unexpectedly
I cried for you; what a fool I used to be
I now understand how foolish I was to cry for someone who did not value me
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I've found someone with eyes that shine a little brighter than yours
I found a heart just a little bit truer
I've found someone whose heart is more sincere and genuine than yours
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Now, I've moved on and it's your turn to feel the pain of losing someone who cared for you
