Cryin' for Nothin'
Echoes of Heartache: Gary Allan's Tale of Love Lost
Lyrics
I am a full grown fool and I shoulda known better
I acknowledge my foolishness as a mature individual and should have known better.
But I tried and I tried and I could not forget her
Despite my efforts, I couldn't erase the memories of her from my mind.
I would go back to her time after time
I repeatedly returned to her, even though it was not wise.
Man I must have been out of my mind
Reflecting on my past actions, I realize I must have been irrational.
All of that cryin' for nothing
All the emotional distress was in vain.
All of that tryin' for nothing
All the efforts I put in were futile.
What has it ever got me
Questioning the value of my endeavors.
What has it ever taught me
Contemplating the lessons gained from the experience.
I've got to keep believing
Expressing the need to maintain belief in something meaningful.
In somethin' baby
Encouraging a focus on belief rather than aimless efforts.
'Stead of just tryin' for nothing
Instead of pursuing empty endeavors, strive for something meaningful.
Cryin' for nothin' at all
All the tears shed were for no significant reason.
Well we fought for love and we fought for trust
Describing the battles for love and trust that were unnecessary.
And the whole blessed time it was right there in front of us
Realizing that love and trust were always present but not recognized.
We could not reach it and I don't know why
Unable to grasp the obvious, leading to prolonged suffering.
It took so long just to say goodbye
Expressing the difficulty in saying goodbye despite the evident issues.
All of that cryin' for nothing
Reiterating the futility of emotional distress.
All of that tryin' for nothing
Highlighting the pointlessness of persistent efforts.
What has it ever got me
Questioning the rewards gained from the struggles.
What has it ever taught me
Reflecting on the lessons learned from the experience.
I've got to keep believing
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining belief in something.
In somethin' baby
Encouraging a focus on belief instead of aimless pursuits.
'Stead of just tryin' for nothing
Advocating for meaningful endeavors over futile attempts.
Cryin' for nothin' at all
Stressing that the tears shed were for no substantial reason.
Well her friends all told her, mine told me
Pointing out the advice given by friends, which was ignored.
But we would not listen, could not see
Acknowledging the lack of awareness and understanding in the relationship.
Me and my pride, her and her dreams
Describing the role of pride and dreams in the relationship's failure.
We never ever stood a chance it seems
Recognizing that the relationship had little chance of success.
All of that cryin' for nothing
Reiterating the pointlessness of emotional distress.
All of that tryin' for nothing
Emphasizing the futility of persistent efforts.
What has it ever got me
Questioning the rewards gained from the struggles.
What has it ever taught me
Reflecting on the lessons learned from the experience.
I've got to keep believing
Stressing the importance of maintaining belief in something.
In somethin' baby
Encouraging a focus on belief instead of aimless pursuits.
'Stead of just tryin' for nothing
Advocating for meaningful endeavors over futile attempts.
Cryin' for nothin' at all
Stressing that the tears shed were for no substantial reason.
'Stead of just tryin' for nothing
Emphasizing the need to pursue meaningful goals instead of empty efforts.
Cryin' for nothin' at all
Highlighting that crying was in vain and had no real cause.
