Lyrics You are my sun
You used to be my sunshine
You are my earth
You used to be my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
But you don't know how much I love you
So you took a chance
So you take a chance
And made other plans
And make another plan
But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no
But you probably didn't think everything would fall apart.
You don't have to say, what you did,
You don't have to say what you used to do
I already know, I found out from him
I already know, I know from him
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
Now there is no more chance, for you and for me, there will never be
And don't it make you sad about it
And don't let this make you sad
You told me you loved me
You used to say you loved me
Why did you leave me, all alone
Why did you leave me, all alone
Now you tell me you need me
Now you say you need me
When you call me, on the phone
When you talk to me on the phone
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
Darling, I refuse, you must think I'm
With some other guy
Like any other man
Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn
Your bridge collapsed, and now it's your turn
To cry, cry me a river
'To cry blood because of me
Cry me a river-er
Crying blood because of me
Cry me a river
Crying blood because of me
Cry me a river-er, yea yea
Crying blood because of me
I know that they say
I know they say
That somevthings are better left unsaid
That there are things that are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you just talked to him and you know it
It feels like you're not just talking to him and you know it.
(Don't act like you don't know it)
(Don't act like you don't know)
All of these things people told me
All these things people say to me
Keep messing with my head
Keeps giving me a headache
(Messing with my head)
(Makes my head hurt)
You should've picked honestly
You should just be honest
Then you may not have blown it
It probably wouldn't be this big
(Yeah..)
(4x)
Oh
The damage is done
The damage is done
So I guess I'll be leaving
Then I guess I'll go
Cry me a river
Crying blood because of me
(Go on and just)
(Keep going)
Cry me a river-er
Crying blood because of me
(Baby go on and just)
(Keep it up)
Cry me a river
Crying blood because of me
(You can go on and just)
(You may continue)
Cry me a river-er, yea yea
Crying blood because of me
Cry me a river
Crying blood because of me
(Baby go on and just)
(Love, keep going)
Cry me a river-er
Crying blood because of me
(Go on and just)
(Keep going)
Cry me a river
Crying blood because of me
(Because I've already cried)
(Because I've cried)
Cry me a river-er, yea yea
Crying blood because of me
(Ain't gonna cry no more, yea-yea)
(I will not cry anymore)
(3x)
Cry me a river
Crying blood because of me
Cry me a river, oh
Crying blood because of me
Cry me a river, oh
Crying blood because of me
Cry me a river, oh
Crying blood because of me
