Cry
Vanessa Falk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
of some things
that never crossed my mind
Things that made you mine
Made me follow blind
I'd never thought that
I would be the one
to ever lose my sight
You made me follow blind
But as It turned out
It wasn't my time
Cause just when you had me
then, you changed your mind
And I've been thinking about this
What I should do about this
And I've been thinking about this
I wanna see you cry
Don't even feel ashamed about it
I wanna see you cry
An eye for an eye
I know is not gonna change anything
But I wanna see some pain in your eyes
I wanna see you cry
An eye for an eye
You want me to believe you'd never never
ached to cross that line
Have you lost your mind?
You made me follow blind
You came to me
You wanted me
You pulled me in
Now you can't breathe
What about me?
You made me follow blind
But as it turned out
It wasn't our time
Cause just when you had me
Then you changed your mind
And I've been thinking about this
What I should do about this?
And I've been thinking about this
I wanna see you cry
Don't even feel ashamed about it
I wanna see you cry
An eye for an eye
I know it's not gonna change anything
But I wanna see some pain in your eyes
I wanna see you cry
An eye for an eye
You made me feel like such a fool
But I guess that's what you do
And this time you won't get away with it
Oh, It happened way to fast
And you really got me trapped
But this time you won't get away with it
But this time you won't get away with it
But this time you won't get away with it
Let it go and cry
Don't even feel ashamed about it
I wanna see you cry
And eye for an eye
I know it's not gonna change anything
But I wanna see some pain in your eyes
I wanna see you cry
An eye for an eye
oh, oh, oh, oh
Ashamed about it
I know it's not gonna change anything
An eye for an eye
oh, oh, oh, oh
Ashamed about it
It's not gonna change
You are not gonna change
We are not gonna change anything
oh, oh, oh
In Vanessa Falk's song "Cry," the lyrics tell the story of a person who has been deceived and manipulated in a relationship. They paint a picture of how the person was made to believe in things that never crossed their mind and were made to follow blindly in the hope of finding love. However, it turned out that the person's love interest changed their mind, and the relationship was short-lived. The singer has been left feeling hurt and vulnerable; thus, the only solution they have is to make their love interest feel the same pain they felt. They want to see their love interest cry, hoping they would feel ashamed of their actions and realize the pain they have caused. The song seems to be a message of revenge to a relationship that has gone wrong.
The lyrics of the song express the emotions of the pain of losing someone they deeply cared about. This emotion is one that many people can relate to in any relationship that has gone wrong. The lyrics are also an expression of how people sometimes feel betrayed by those they genuinely trust. As the song progresses, it becomes a message of revenge, but the chorus still maintains the melancholic tone of wanting to see the person cry.

You painted me a picture
You created a false reality for me
of some things that never crossed my mind
Including things never before considered by me
Things that made you mine
Things that made me feel like I belonged to you
Made me follow blind
Caused me to blindly follow you
I'd never thought that I would be the one to ever lose my sight
I never imagined that I would allow myself to be so blinded by love
guess I lost that fight
I succumbed to your manipulations
But as It turned out it wasn't my time
As it happened, we were not meant to be together
Cause just when you had me then, you changed your mind
Just as I had committed myself to you, you decided to end things
And I've been thinking about this What I should do about this
I am trying to figure out how to handle this situation
I wanna see you cry Don't even feel ashamed about it
I want you to feel the same pain that I am feeling right now
An eye for an eye
I want retribution for the hurt you have caused me
I know is not gonna change anything
I know that revenge won't solve anything
But I wanna see some pain in your eyes
But I still want you to hurt like I do
You want me to believe you'd never never ached to cross that line
You want me to trust that you would never betray me
Have you lost your mind?
Are you crazy?
You made me follow blind
You manipulated me and made me naively trust you
You came to me You wanted me You pulled me in Now you can't breathe What about me?
You pursued me and convinced me to be with you, but now you are struggling with your own feelings and not considering how it affects me
But as it turned out it wasn't our time
It was not meant to work out between us
And I've been thinking about this What I should do about this?
I am still uncertain how to handle this situation
You made me feel like such a fool
You made me look foolish for trusting you
But I guess that's what you do
I suppose this is your pattern of behavior in relationships
And this time you won't get away with it Oh, It happened way to fast
But this time, I will not let you get away with hurting me so quickly
And you really got me trapped
I feel stuck and unable to escape my feelings for you
Let it go and cry
You need to let your emotions out and show vulnerability
It's not gonna change
Seeking revenge will not change the past
You are not gonna change
You will never change who you are
We are not gonna change anything
This situation will not change anything between us
