Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of acknowledgement or agreement.
I saw you dancing in a crowded room
Observation of seeing the person dancing in a crowded room.
You look so happy when I'm not with you
Noting the person's apparent happiness when not together.
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
The singer's presence surprised the person, leading to a tear.
A single teardrop falling from your eye
Describing a single tear falling from the person's eye.
I don't know why I run away
Expressing confusion about why the singer tends to run away.
I'll make you cry when I run away
Anticipating causing the person to cry by leaving.
You could have asked me why I broke your heart
Suggesting the person could have inquired about the heartbreak.
You could've told me that you fell apart
The person could have shared their emotional turmoil.
But you walked past me like I wasn't there
Feeling ignored as the person walked past without acknowledgment.
And just pretended like you didn't care
Noticing the person pretending not to care.
I don't know why I run away
Reiterating the confusion about running away.
I'll make you cry when I run away
Expecting to make the person cry by leaving again.
Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Expressing a desire to be taken back and stay.
Save your tears for another
Advising the person to save their tears for someone else.
Save your tears for another day
Repeating the advice to save tears for another day.
Save your tears for another day
Reiterating the advice to save tears for another day.
So I made you think that I would always stay
Admitting to misleading the person into thinking the singer would stay.
I said some things that I should never say
Regretting saying hurtful things to the person.
Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine
Comparing the heartbreak caused to the singer's own experiences.
And now you won't love me for a second time
Believing the person won't love the singer again.
I don't know why I run away
Reiterating confusion about running away from the person.
Oh girl, I make you cry when I run away
Acknowledging that the singer makes the person cry by leaving.
Girl, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Expressing a desire to be taken back and stay.
Save your tears for another
Reiterating the advice to save tears for someone else.
I realize that I'm much too late
Realizing that it's too late to rectify the situation.
And you deserve someone better
Acknowledging the person deserves someone better.
Save your tears for another day (ooh, yeah)
Repeating the advice to save tears for another day.
Save your tears for another day (yeah)
Reiterating the advice to save tears for another day.
I don't know why I run away
Expressing continued confusion about running away.
I'll make you cry when I run away
Expecting to make the person cry by leaving again.
Save your tears for another day, ooh girl (ah)
Repeating the advice to save tears for another day.
