Cry For Me Lyrics

by The Weeknd

Ooh, yeah Ooh, yeah I can feel it Girl, pick up your phone, I can't believe it I can feel my spirit slowly leaving I can see myself and I'm not breathing, ah I'm not breathing (I'm not breathing), slowly bleeding (bleeding) I wish that I told you all my feelings (feelings) I hope that I live life for a reason (reason) But at least you played this song when I'm gone And I hope you cry for me like I cry for you Every night for you Take it easy on me, baby 'Cause I tried with you, saw my life with you End of time with you Now we're strangers And I hope that you still cry for me like I cried for you Every night for you I've been living with this lie, now I can't hide the truth I can't hide the truth Girl, I'll cry for you Girl, I'll cry for you, ooh, yeah I can't see clear, I wash my fears With whiskey tears I disappear, don't interfere The end is near The crowd will scream, I block my ears To stop the cheers 'Cause this stage took a toll, been faded on the floor In this penthouse prison, I'm alone And I hope you'll cry for me like I cry for you Every night for you Take it easy on me, baby 'Cause I tried with you, saw my life with you End of time with you Now we're strangers And I hope that you still cry for me like I cried for you Every night for you I've been living with this lie, now I can't hide the truth I can't hide the truth (hide the truth) Girl, I'll cry for you Girl, I'll cry for you, ooh, yeah Every time I hit the road, it takes a little piece of me Kills me slowly (slowly) When I needed you the most, you always gave me sympathy Now you're over me (over me) Now you're better on your own, it ain't a fuckin' mystery You've been showing me Now I've been burning up my home, baby I've been burning up my home And I hope you cry for me like I cry for you Every night for you Take it easy on me, baby 'Cause I tried with you, saw my life with you End of time with you Now we're strangers And I hope that you still cry for me like I cried for you Every night for you I've been living with this lie, now I can't hide the truth I can't hide the truth Girl, I'll cry for you Girl, I'll cry for you, ooh, yeah (Ooh, yeah)
