Save Your Tears
The Weeknd Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nah-nah, yeah
I saw you dancing in a crowded room
You look so happy when I'm not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye
I'll make you cry when I run away (oh)
Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Save your tears for another day (oh)
Save your tears for another day
Mm
Met you once under a Pisces moon
I kept my distance 'cause I know that you
Don't like when I'm with nobody else
I couldn't help it, I put you through hell
I don't know why I run away (oh)
Oh boy
I'll make you cry when I run away (oh)
Boy, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
I realize that it's much too late
And you deserve someone better
Save your tears for another day (oh)
Save your tears for another day (oh)
I don't know why I run away
I'll make you cry when I run away
Save
Save your tears for another day (ooh)
Ooh, girl (oh), okay
Save (save)
Your (your)
Tears for another day
(Oh) oh, baby
Save your tears for another day (oh)
Save your tears for another day (oh)
Save your tears for another day

In the bridge of the song, Ariana Grande sings about meeting The Weeknd in the past and how she avoided him because he doesn't like when she's with someone else. She similarly acknowledges that she put him through hell, but it's much too late now.

I saw you dancing in a crowded room
I saw you happy and carefree, enjoying yourself surrounded by people
You look so happy when I'm not with you
You seem happier without me around
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
You didn't expect to see me there, and it shook you up
A single teardrop falling from your eye
You shed a tear in front of me, revealing your true feelings
I don't know why I run away (oh)
I don't understand why I always try to escape from you and our relationship
I'll make you cry when I run away (oh)
Whenever I leave you, it hurts you and makes you cry
Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
I want you to forgive me and take me back because I want to stay with you
Save your tears for another
Don't cry over me anymore, save your tears for someone else
Save your tears for another day (oh)
Don't let me make you cry anymore, save your tears for another time
Met you once under a Pisces moon
I first met you when the moon was in the sign of Pisces
I kept my distance 'cause I know that you
I stayed away from you because I knew you didn't like it when I was around other people
Don't like when I'm with nobody else
You don't want me to be with anyone other than you
I couldn't help it, I put you through hell
I couldn't control myself and ended up causing you pain and suffering
I realize that it's much too late
I understand that it's too late to make things right between us
And you deserve someone better
You deserve someone who won't hurt you and make you cry
Save your tears for another day (oh)
Please stop crying over me, save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day (oh)
I don't want to be the cause of your tears anymore, save them for another day
