[Verse 1]
You were my sun, you were my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance and made other plans
I bet you didn't think they'd come crashing down, no

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to say what you did
Already know, found out from him
Now there's just no chance for you and me
There'll never be, and don't it make you sad about it?

[Chorus]
You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me all alone?
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
And, girl, I refuse
You must got me confused
With some other guy
Your bridges was burned
And now it's your turn, to cry
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
[Verse 2]
I know that they say that some things are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
And all of these things people told me
Keep messin' with my head
You should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to say what you did
Already know, found out from him
Now there's just no chance for you and me
There'll never be, and don't it make you sad about it?

[Chorus]
You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me all alone?
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
And, girl, I refuse
You must got me confused
With some other guy (I'm not like them, baby)
Your bridges was burned
And now it's your turn, to cry
Cry me a river (Won't you cry with me?)
Cry me a river (Won't you cry with me?)
Cry me a river (Just stay and just cry with me)
Cry me a river (Just stay and just cry with me)
[Outro]
What them tears for?
Wipe them tears, girl
It's been years, girl
I'm still here, girl, when you need me
Shake spilled all over your CDs
Spilled drink all over your TV
You don't need it anyways, you don't need me anyways
You need that iPhone, though
You need that Macintosh
You need some alcohol in your daddy's car
It make you feel so good
I can feel it, I can see it
I can hear it in your voice when you're scared
Frightened, enlightened, I am
My brother put me on to your game, girl, damn
I sang, girl, damn, I know things change, but damn
You ain't have to front, act like you ain't never gone to Cancún
Woo, the room got silent
Your brother pulled his gun out, then things got violent
You still chargin', momma always catch ya lyin'
And you still lyin', taking cancer from the highest
I be hidin', I be thinkin' 'bout shit that we would talk about
In the nice parking lot when all the lights would go out
And we would be there, and you would listen
And now your ass gone, and I'm still in this kitchen alone
