Tiffany Evans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse1:
Gave you everything but it wasnt enough
Cant believe how you neglected my love
[wish i wouldve seen]wish i wouldve seen you for who you was
[but i was just a fool]baby i was just a fool in love
Chorus:
You say you found somebody new now you dont want me
Hope she do the same thing to you
I hope that she makes you cry
Cry [x15]
Verse2:
Never thought that we would be where we are
Always thought that we would reach the stars
I guess you just werent capable of being truly faithful
But its all good cause i know who you are baby you
Chorus:

You say you found somebody new now you dont want me
Hope she do the same thing to you
I hope that she makes you cry
Cry [x15]
Verse3:
Think of everything you put me through now imagine you in the same position with it being done to you
Never thought that we would end this way
And im sorry babe but karma coming back in the worst way
I know the bigger thing to do would be just too forgive ya
But im sorry baby cause i aint ready too




Now i hope you realize telling me all those lies is going to be the thing that makes you cry
Cry[x15]

Overall Meaning

In Tiffany Evans's song "Cry," the young singer is expressing her frustration and hurt over a lost love who has moved on and found someone new. It's clear that she gave her all to the relationship, but it wasn't enough for her partner. She wishes she had seen him for who he really was, but admits to being a naive "fool in love." The chorus repeats the sentiment that she hopes the new woman in his life treats him the same way he treated her, and that he feels the pain of heartbreak.


The second verse continues with the theme of lost potential and unfaithfulness. The singer expresses her disappointment that they didn't reach the stars together, and believes that her ex was simply not capable of true faithfulness. Despite this, she appears to have accepted the situation, saying "it's all good cause I know who you are." However, the repeated chorus shows that the hurt is still very real and unresolved.


The final verse takes a more dramatic turn, as Tiffany imagines her ex in the same position she is in, feeling the pain of heartbreak. She acknowledges that forgiveness might be the "bigger thing to do," but she's not ready to let go of the hurt just yet. She hopes he realizes the damage he caused and that it will come back to haunt him in the form of tears.
