Cry Me a River Lyrics
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
Made other plans
But I bet you didn't think your thing would come crashing down, no
You don't have to say, what you did
I already know, I found out from him
There is just no chance, of you and me, there'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it
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
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
Your bridges were 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, yeah, yeah
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 (don't act like you don't know it)
All of the these things people told me
Keep messing with my head (messing with my head)
You should have picked honesty
Then you may not have lost the game
You don't have to say, what you did
I already know, I found out from him
There is just no chance, of you and me, there'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it
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
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
Your bridges were 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, yeah, yeah
Oh the damage is done
So I guess I'll be leaving
Oh the damage is done
So I guess I'll be leaving
Oh the damage is done
So I guess I'll be leaving
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
You can go on and just
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
You can go on and just
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Meaning of Cry Me a River
“Cry Me a River” is a raw and vengeful declaration of heartbreak from Justin Timberlake, fueled by betrayal and profound sadness. The lyrics depict a scorned lover meticulously documenting her ex’s infidelity, revealing the devastating impact of his actions – he was “my sun, my earth,” yet treated with indifference until discovered in another relationship. She coldly asserts that their connection is irrevocably broken, highlighting his manipulative attempts to elicit sympathy while simultaneously exposing his deceit. The repeated demand for him to "cry me a river" represents her desire for him to experience the same pain he inflicted upon her. Ultimately, Timberlake’s message is one of justified anger and resolute self-preservation; she’s moving on, refusing to be manipulated, and holding him accountable for the damage done – a powerful statement about reclaiming agency after being utterly heartbroken and discarded.
