Crying Over You
The Band CAMINO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't, you don't care like you used to
You don't want me there like you used to
I keep wasting every night waitin' for you to say goodbye
But if you won't, you won't, I'll make the first move

I choose cryin' over you
I choose silence over being lied to
I choose drinkin' alone, drownin' in my tears in my bedroom
'Cause it'll make me happier than you do
I choose crying over you

You know, you know just how to get me
How to take my love and use it against me
I keep wastin' all my time tryin' to make the wrong things right
I hope you like your bed when it's empty

'Cause I choose cryin' over you
I choose silence over being lied to
I choose drinkin' alone, drowning in my tears in my bedroom
'Cause it'll make me happier than you do
I choose cryin' over you
Yeah
I choose cryin' over you
Yeah, yeah

The truth is
I'll only get over you if

I choose cryin' over you
I choose silence over being lied to
I choose drinkin' alone, drownin' in my tears in my bedroom




'Cause it'll make me happier than you do
I choose cryin' over you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Crying Over You" by The Band CAMINO & Chelsea Cutler describe a person who is tired of waiting for their partner to end their relationship, so they decide to make the first move. The singer acknowledges the changes in their relationship โ€“ the lack of attention and affection from their partner. Despite feeling hurt, the singer is ready to accept the end of their relationship and chooses to cope with their heartbreak through tears, silence, and drinking alone. The lyrics convey the idea that it is better to face the pain of separation than to be constantly lied to or ignored in a relationship.


The melancholic melody of the song perfectly captures the emotions of the singer - longing, heartbreak, and acceptance. The repetition of the phrase "I choose cryin' over you" emphasizes the singer's decision to move on from their partner. The use of the phrase "I hope you like your bed when it's empty" is a powerful way to convey the idea that the partner will eventually realize the loss of a good thing.


Overall, the song is a poignant reminder that sometimes, it is better to choose a peaceful and painful end than to hold on to a relationship that no longer serves its purpose.

I just heard Daphne blue for the first time today so I searched up The Band Camino. Canโ€™t believe theyโ€™re dropping new music on the same day I discovered them. Itโ€™s almost like it was meant to be :)
