Cry Lyrics

by Benson Boone

What's the song about?

The song "Cry" by Benson Boone is about a person who is tired of being emotionally manipulated by someone else. The sing...

I tried to hide it through the silence while I played along
I′m welling up behind my eyelids when I'm holding on
To the reigns, so badly I hate it
And I wish that all of– (nah, nah, nah, that doesn′t feel right)
(Maybe, uh, speed it up)
(Yeah, that's nice)

I really hate the way you think that you can get away
By blaming all your stupid problems on your mental state
I'm tired of burnt out lies, oh
Ooh

You think you know me, but you hardly even know yourself
I′d bite my tongue and let you think I only wish you well
I don′t, I know you know it
Ooh

And I'm tired of letting someone get the best of me, so go ahead and

Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else′s life
Cry, cry
Go bug somebody else, so I can sleep at night

Mmm, you're more narcissistic than anybody in Hollywood
You′re not a misfit, don't keep sayin′ you're misunderstood
I'm tired, oh, I′m so tired, oh
Ooh

And maybe you′re the honest type
And it's been me the whole damn time
I should really try to calm my mind and see things from your side
Or maybe you can

Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else′s life
Cry, cry
Go bug somebody else so I can sleep at night

Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else's life
Cry, cry
And I′m tired of letting someone get the best of me, so go ahead and

Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else's –
