Lyrics
Tears don't care who cries them
Tears are impartial and do not discriminate based on the person crying.
They don't care at all
They have no concern or consideration; they fall without regard.
Any time a heart starts breaking
Whenever a heart experiences a breakup or emotional pain,
They will fall and fall
Tears will continuously flow.
Rich man, poor man, beggar
Regardless of social status, tears can fill the eyes of anyone.
Tears can fill each eye
They don't discriminate; they can affect people from all walks of life.
They don't care who cries them
Regardless of who is shedding tears, the tears themselves don't care.
You just cry, cry, cry
Expressing the inevitability of crying when overwhelmed with emotions.
*Once my love and dreams
Referencing a past where love and dreams were entrusted to someone.
Were in your keeping
Highlighting a time when the speaker's love and dreams were in the possession of another person.
Then you walked away
Describing a moment when that person walked away with someone new.
With someone new
Expressing the emotional impact of the person's departure.
Once you laughed at me
Recalling a time when the speaker was laughed at while experiencing sadness.
When (While) I was weeping
Highlighting the contrast between laughter and weeping in a past relationship.
What happened to me
Suggesting a shared experience of heartbreak between the speaker and the departed person.
Has happened to you
Expressing that what happened to the speaker has now happened to the other person.
Tears don't care who cries them
Reiterating the theme that tears are universal and can affect anyone.
But my eyes are dry
Contradicting the earlier implication, indicating the speaker's eyes are dry now.
I'm laughing now while you learn how
Indicating a shift from sadness to laughter while the other person learns to cry.
To cry, cry, cry
Repeating the idea that crying is a process the other person is going through.
(repeat *)
Repeating the notion of a past time when love and dreams were shared.
