Cry Baby
Heartbreak Echoes: Priscilla Ahn's 'Cry Baby' Unveils Unspoken Pain
Lyrics
You don't call anymore
You no longer reach out to me through calls.
You don't look on this door
You don't check or approach my door anymore.
Just a picture, you out there without me
A depiction of you being distant, existing without me.
Breaks my heart into two
Your absence causes deep emotional pain, splitting my heart.
What am I suppose to do
I'm uncertain about what actions to take in the face of this heartbreak.
When I thought you would never ever leave?
Contrasting the belief that you would always be with me, facing the reality of your departure.
Cry baby, I am
Expressing the emotional state of being a crybaby, someone who easily sheds tears.
Cry baby, I am
Reiteration of the emotional state, emphasizing the vulnerability and sadness.
If I knew you would leave
If I had known you would leave, I would have protected my vulnerable feelings.
Then this heart on my sleeve
A metaphorical expression of vulnerability, having one's heart exposed.
Would be safe and sound inside of me
Expressing the desire for emotional safety within oneself.
But I guess I'm the fool
Acknowledging a sense of foolishness or naivety in the speaker's actions.
And you were too cool
You, the other person, displayed a detached and indifferent attitude.
I can see this was never meant to be for me
Realization that the relationship was never meant to be, at least not for the speaker.
Cry baby, I am
Reiteration of the crybaby state, expressing continued emotional distress.
Cry baby, I am
Repetition for emphasis, underscoring the enduring sadness and vulnerability.
Cry baby, I am
Further emphasis on the ongoing emotional pain and tendency to cry.
Cry, cry, cry
An explicit call to cry, highlighting the cathartic release of emotions.
Cry baby, I am
Final repetition of the crybaby state, summarizing the emotional theme of the song.
