Lyrics
Look me in the eyes and try to cry, I bet you can’t
Challenge to evoke genuine emotion; doubting the ability to cry in sincerity.
Look me in the eyes and try to cry, I bet you can’t
Reiteration of the challenge, emphasizing the disbelief in the sincerity of tears.
You knew you were wrong
Acknowledging a wrongdoing or mistake.
If you were a liar, you should’ve said
Suggesting honesty was expected; regret for not being truthful.
And we could’ve moved this along
Expressing a desire to move forward if honesty had prevailed.
I had to learn to be alright with not getting on
Acceptance of not being part of something; coming to terms with a situation.
Cause we’re not fine anymore
Declaring the end of being 'fine' in the relationship.
We’re not fine
Emphasizing the deteriorating state of the relationship.
We’re not fine
Reiteration of the relationship's decline.
I wish that someone said ‘Be wary’
Expressing a desire for a warning about the unsuitability of the partner.
‘He’s not for you like you’re for him, is he?’
Questioning the compatibility and commitment of the partner.
So, I’m asking you to look me in the eyes and try to cry
Repeating the challenge, indicating a need for emotional expression.
I bet you can’t
Reaffirming skepticism about the sincerity of tears.
Look me in the eyes and try to cry, I bet you can’t
Restating the challenge with continued doubt in the partner's emotional honesty.
You gave me nothing
Highlighting a sense of deprivation or lack in the relationship.
I can’t wring the hope out of you desperately
Expressing difficulty in giving up hope for the relationship.
I refuse to plead
Refusing to beg or plead for the relationship to continue.
You must’ve given me something
Acknowledging the receipt of something from the partner, albeit unclear.
I just couldn’t tell you what it is
Uncertainty about the nature of what was received from the partner.
The residue, it is unclean
Describing the lingering impact of the partner's actions as unclean or negative.
Look me in the eyes and try to cry, I bet you can’t
Reiterating the challenge as a plea for genuine emotional expression.
Look me in the eyes and try to cry, I bet you can’t
Final repetition of the challenge, emphasizing doubt in the partner's ability to cry sincerely.
