Cry Me One Tear Lyrics

Hear the coyotes howlin' out beyond the trees.
Sound like they killed somethin' out there
And left it to bleed.
They'll rip your guts apart and fight over the bones.
They won't remember you. Tomorrow you'll be gone.

But cry me one tear.
So I'll know that I made you feel good and secure in your world.
And that I meant somethin' to you.
Cry me one tear. Cry me one tear,
Or else it was all a lie.
And we could never really say goodbye,
'cause we never said hello.

A cold darkness has fallen upon the land.
We're all at the mercy of the red right hand.
I thought you were on my side, but the past makes things clear.
Open eyes are the ones that shed tears.
It's a disposable society with styrofoam constitution.
Whoever said that honesty was the best solution?
I thought I heard you say I love you.
There was a time when I thought this could be true.

But cry me one tear.
So I'll know I made you feel good and secure in your world.
And that I meant somethin' to you.
Cry me one tear. Cry me one tear,
Or else it was all a lie.
