I'll Cry Instead
Heartache's Melody: Emotions Unveiled in 'I'll Cry Instead'
Lyrics
I've got every reason on earth to be mad
I feel justified in being angry for various reasons.
'Cause I just lost the only girl I had
I'm upset because I recently lost the only romantic partner I had.
If I could get my way
If I could, I'd willingly get myself arrested or confined today.
I'd get myself locked up today
Expressing a desire for extreme actions due to emotional distress.
But I can't, so I'll cry instead
Since I cannot do that, I'll express my sorrow by crying instead.
I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger that my feet
I carry a significant burden or grievance.
I can't talk to people that I meet
I struggle to communicate with new people.
If I could see you now
If I had the chance to encounter you at this moment.
I'd try to make you sad somehow
I'd attempt to make you feel unhappy in some way.
But I can't, so I'll cry instead
However, I can't do that, so I'll resort to crying.
Don't want to cry when there's people there
I prefer not to cry when others are present.
I get shy when they start to stare
I become uncomfortable when people stare at me.
I'm gonna hide myself away
I'll withdraw and keep to myself.
But I'll come back again someday
But eventually, I will return.
And when you do you'd better hide all the girls
When I return, I'll make sure to keep other potential romantic interests away from you.
I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world
I'll cause emotional pain to these individuals globally.
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
I intend to emotionally hurt them deeply.
And show you what your lovin' man can do
I'll demonstrate my abilities as a devoted partner to you.
Until then I'll cry instead
Until then, I'll resort to crying as a way of coping.
