You were my sun
You were my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance
And made other plans
But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no
[BRIDGE]
You don't have to say, what you did,
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it
[CHORUS]
AmYou told me you Floved me
Why did you Cleave me, all aGlone
AmNow you tell me you Fneed me
When you Ccall me, on the Gphone
AmGirl I refFuse, you must have me conCfused
With some other gGuy
AmYour bridges were Fburned, and now it's Cyour turn
To Gcry cry me a AmriverF  
Cry me a Criver-Eer
Cry me a AmriverF  
Cry me a Criver-Eer
I know that they say
That somethings are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
(Don't act like you don't know it)
All of these things people told me
Keep messing with my head
You should've picked honesty
And you may not have blown it
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving  X4
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
Cry me a AmriverF  
Cry me a Criver-Eer
Cry me a AmriverF  
Cry me a Criver-Eer   X2
Cry me a rAmiv-eAmr

You were my sun

You were my earth

But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no

So you took a chance

And made other plans

But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no

I already know, I found out from him

Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be

Keep messing with my head

You should've picked honesty

And you may not have blown it
