[Verse 1]
Ya hurt me bad, ya made me cry
Ya walked out the door, before my lonely tears could dry
I was the one, to hold you and never lose hope
Both said things we didn't mean, when I told you to leave
Never thought you go, whoa

[Chorus]
Why don't you cry for me?
Like I've cried for you
If it met anything
Just a tear would do
If you really care
Like you say you do
Why don't you cry for me?
Like I've cried... for you

[Verse 2]
In every June, your father comes to town
And I was there, when he didn't come around
I held your hand, and wiped the tears
On my favorite shirt
You could tell me that it hurts, but it's written on your face
More than your words

[Chorus]
Why don't you cry for me?
Like I've cried for you
If it met anything
Just a tear would do
If you really care
Like you say you do
Why don't you cry for me?
Like I've cried...
[Verse 3]
What hurts me most, is how easy you let go
All the moments that we had I guess I never know
What was really real, how you really feel
Oh, whoa-oh, whoa

[Chorus]
Why don't you cry for me?
Like I've cried for you
If it met anything
Just a tear would do
If you really care
Like you say you do
Why don't you cry for me?
Like I've cried...
Why don't you cry for me?
Like I've cried for you
If it met anything
Just a tear would do
If you really care
Like you say you do
Why don't you cry for me?
Like I've cried...

[Outro]
Why don't you cry for me? Cry for me
Why don't you cry for me? Cry for me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, why don't you cry
