What You Cryin' For? Lyrics

(Mmm) I take you back to my younger years

Only seventeen, guess I had no idea

Never took for granted love was hangin' around

'Cause my mama and my father ain't too happy now

But I thought this is how it felt to be

In love with somebody, who's in love with me

For a time, sure

It seemed we were working out fine

But, you were just a double cross

That bided your time

So go and sing along

To your love songs

Like you're not the villain

Guess I gave too much

It was never enough

What you cryin' for?

(Mmm) And the years pass, like they do

I admit I had my doubts

Thought I was still in love with you

We went through some shit, but always figured it out

Always trying hard to keep your happiness around

But you were steady creeping

Had a wandering eye

Always blundering your answers

When your phone lit up at night

Running round town, when I was out with my friends

Said we'd come through and meet ya'

But you were in that bar with him

So go and sing along

To your love songs

Like you're not the villain

Guess I gave too much

It was never enough

What you cryin' for?

What you cryin' for?

What you cryin'?

What you cryin' for?

Broken shards across the floor

You're claiming you love me

But what you gon' do that for

O-o-oh

Dry your eyes, dry your eyes

You were just the villain in disguise

So go and sing along

To your love songs

Like you're not the villain

Guess I gave too much

It was never enough

What you cryin' for?

So go and sing along

To your love songs

Like you're not the villain

Guess I gave too much

It was never enough

What you cryin' for?

What you cryin' for?
