Lirik Lagu Cry For Me The Weekend

[Intro]

Ooh, yeah

Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]

I can feel it

Girl, pick up your phone, I can't believe it

I can feel my spirit slowly leaving

I can't see myself and I'm not breathing (Ah)

I'm not breathing (I'm not breathing)

Slowly bleeding (Bleeding)

I wish that I told you all my feelings (Feelings)

I hope that I live life for a reason (Reason)

But at least you'll play this song

When I'm gone

[Chorus]

And I hope you cry for me like I cry for you

Every night for you, take it easy on me, baby

'Cause I tried with you, saw my life with you

End of time with you, now we're strangers

And I hope that you still cry for me like I cry for you

Every night for you, I've been living with this lie

Now I can't hide the truth, I can't hide the truth

Girl, I'll cry for you

Girl, I'll cry for you, ooh, yeah

[Verse 2]

I can't see clear

I wash my fears with whisky tears

I disappear

Don't interfere, the end is near

The crowd'll scream

I block my ears to stop the cheers

'Cause the stage took a toll

Been faded on the floor

In this penthouse prison, I'm alone

[Chorus]

And I hope you cry for me like I cry for you

Every night for you, take it easy on me, baby

'Cause I tried with you, saw my life with you

End of time with you, now we're strangers

And I hope that you still cry for me like I cry for you

Every night for you, I've been living with this lie

Now I can't hide the truth, I can't hide the truth (Hide the truth)

Girl, I'll cry for you

Girl, I'll cry for you, ooh, yeah

[Bridge]

Every time I hit the road, it takes a little piece of me

Kills me slowly (Slowly)

When I needed you the most, you always gave me sympathy

Now you're over me (Over me)

Now you're better on your own, it ain't a fucking mystery

You've been showing me

Now I've been burning up my home, baby

I've been burning up my home

[Chorus]

And I hope you cry for me like I cry for you

Every night for you, take it easy on me, baby

'Cause I tried with you, saw my life with you

End of time with you, now we're strangers

And I hope that you still cry for me like I cry for you

Every night for you, I've been living with this lie

Now I can't hide the truth, I can't hide the truth

Girl, I'll cry for you

Girl, I'll cry for you, ooh, yeah
