Something to Cry About
Emotional Echoes: Journey Through Heartbreak
Lyrics
You say your heart is in ruins
You claim your heart is deeply damaged.
No way that it can get worse
You believe it cannot deteriorate any further.
I've already done what you're doing
The speaker has experienced what you are going through.
And each time feels like the first
Every instance feels as intense as the initial experience.
You'll start to lose out of habit
You will become accustomed to losing.
You might even bet that you can win
There's a possibility you'll bet on winning despite the odds.
Maybe you just never really had it
Suggesting that maybe you never truly possessed what you think you lost.
I've already lost it time and again
The speaker has already experienced repeated losses.
You think you've got something to cry about
You believe your troubles are significant enough to cry about.
You say your heart's got scars that you can't even see
You claim your heart bears unseen scars.
I'll give you something to cry about
The speaker challenges you by offering a reason to cry.
'Cause all I've got is a hole where my heart used to be
The speaker's heart is described as a void.
I've lost a long line of lovers
The speaker has a history of lost relationships.
And I'd fall for more of the same
Openness to falling for similar situations again.
You can spend your lifetime looking for others
You may spend a lifetime searching for love but remain unsuccessful.
Still Looking, that's my middle name
Indicates a persistent pattern of seeking without finding.
You think you've got something to cry about
Reiteration of the belief in having significant reasons to cry.
You say your heart's got scars that you can't even see
Your heart is described as having invisible wounds.
I'll give you something to cry about
The speaker challenges your perspective on sorrow.
'Cause all I've got is a hole where my heart used to be
Emphasizes the emptiness in the speaker's heart.
You think you've got something to cry about
Repetition of the belief in having valid reasons to cry.
You say your heart's got scars that you can't even see
Your heart is said to have scars not visible to the eye.
I'll give you something to cry about
The speaker maintains the challenge to your emotional state.
'Cause all I've got is a hole where my heart used to be
Reiteration of the emptiness in the speaker's heart.
You think you've got something to cry about
Repetition of the belief in the significance of your troubles.
I'll give you something to cry about
The speaker commits to providing a reason for you to cry.
You think you've got something to cry about
Repetition of the belief in having substantial reasons to cry.
I'll give you something to cry about
The speaker reiterates the commitment to providing a cause for tears.
