[FULL LYRICS – ROMANIZATION & ENGLISH ONLY]
But I’ll never break out of the cycle
I don’t really wanna let you go
(Never let go)
You don’t know me
L-O-V-E or hatred
All the while I’ll be sure to
leave you wonderin’ (Oh)
Baby no more real love
I’mma pretend we’re going strong
Then at the end, break your heart
Bad boy, bad boy
Yeah, you really make me
(woah oh oh)
I want you to cry, Cry for me
The way I cried for you
Baby cry for me
Make your rain fall
Somehow you keep me
Goin’ round and round
All the walls I built around me
Come crashin’ down
Makin’ excuses, gotta drown ’em out
I want you to cry for me
(Umm) (Ya) I don’t know if I’m just
In too deep and I’m confused
All my friends hate your guts
But I’m still defending you (Ya ya Ya ya)
(Umm Yeah)
Ooh, don’t know how you
keep on laughin’ everyday
Just a single tear from you I’d be okay
Ooh
Let me please forgive you (Oh)
On the outside I’ll be all calm
Baby just like real love
Tellin’ myself we’re going strong
If it’s the end, break your heart
Yeah, you really make me
A sad girl sad girl
(Woah oh oh)
I want you to cry, Cry for me (Me)
The way I cried for you
Make your rain fall Cry for me (Me yeah)
But again
Somehow you keep me
Goin’ round and round (Oh)
All the walls I built around me
Makin’ excuses, gotta drown ’em out
I want you to
I want you to
I want you to cry for me
If love is a game
You poison my veins
Then take it all away
I’m chasin’ that taste (Oh)
I want your kiss, yeah yeah yeah (Oh)
I want you to cry, Cry for me
Baby cry for me
Make your rain fall
Fall and fall now, Yeah
I want you to cry, Cry for me (Me)
The way I cried for you
Make your rain fall Cry for me (Me)
But again
Somehow you keep me
Goin’ round and round
All the walls I built around me
Makin’ excuses, gotta drown ’em out
(drown ’em out)
I want you to I want you to
I want you to
Die for me
The lyrics reveal a painful attachment trapped between love, anger, and the desire for revenge. Although the speaker knows the relationship is toxic, they remain unable to break free and keep defending the person who caused their suffering. Asking them to cry becomes a demand for proof that the pain was shared, as even one tear might make forgiveness possible. Beneath the calm exterior lies emotional conflict, wounded devotion, and a desperate longing for remorse from someone who still holds power over the heart.
