I've Cried 4 U
The Unlovables Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I first saw you at the show
I felt this love begin to grow
But I watched my dreams unfurl
When I saw you with that girl
And I've cried 4 U
Let me show you I can be
The kind of girl you want to see
Very first when you wake up
And last at night when your eyes shut
And I've cried 4 U
It's sad when you've been alone as long as I've been
When you're a her, and you never seem to have a him
It's sad when you've been alone as long as I've been
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Flipside panned your new CD
But you still mean the world to me
What do they know anyway?




After all, they're from L.A.
And I've cried 4 U

Overall Meaning

The Unlovables' song "I've Cried 4 U" refers to the agony of being hopelessly infatuated with someone who doesn't share the same feeling, a feeling that many of us can relate to at some point in our lives. The song's lyrics reflect the singer's love and disappointment in their unrequited love interest.


The song begins with the singer reminiscing about the first time they saw their crush and how it sparked an instant love within them. However, the love eventually turned to despair when they saw the person with another girl. The singer then tells their love interest that they are willing to do anything to be with them, even if it means being the first person they see when they wake up and the last person they see before they sleep. Despite the pain of unrequited love, the singer continues to cry for their love interest.


In the chorus, the singer laments about being alone for an extended period of time, feeling like they will never find someone to love. They acknowledge that their crush means everything to them, and the opinions of others, like those who panned their CD, don't matter.

When I witnessed you with another woman


And I've cried 4 U
I've shed tears for you


Let me show you I can be
Allow me to demonstrate that I have the capability of being


The kind of girl you want to see
The type of female partner that you desire to have by your side


Very first when you wake up
Right from the moment you open your eyes in the morning

After all, they're from L.A.
Considering that they hail from L.A., I'm not surprised they would make such ill-informed assessments.

Incredible song! The only problem is it’s too damn short!

The fact that it's under 2 minutes makes it that much better to me. You can always just listen again. :-)
