“Cry Your Heart Out” is a spin on Cody Simpson’s December 2010 track “Don’t Cry Your Heart Out.” While Simpson was aiming to comfort a friend through heartache, Murs is sending a message to someone who hurt him.
[Verse 1]
I'm back again, now it's sunny in my mind
And I don't miss the rain, used to feel it all the time
Put away my troubles, I left them all behind
Now every time I look up, clear blue skies
[Refrain]
Here you come again like a cloud in my view
Blocking all of my light like only you could do
You tried to say sorry, girl, drop it, drop it
You really need to stop it, I wanna change the topic, now
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause every time we end up in the same silly situation
And did you really think that you could walk and I'd be here waiting?
[Chorus]
Your turn to cry your heart out
Let me stop before you start out
Don't need your explanations, no
'Cause I don't really wanna know
About the way you're feeling now
'Cause you're the one who got time out
So go and you can cry your heart out
[Verse 2]
Oh, yeah
Go ahead and keep them pourin' from your eyes
Crocodile tears, they will never fool the wise
I'm wise to your game, girl, and now you're out of lies
Love may be blind, but I'm dead to your kind
[Refrain]
Here you come again like a cloud in my view
Blocking all of my light like only you could do
You tried to say sorry, girl, drop it, drop it
You really need to stop it, I wanna change the topic now
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause every time we end up in the same silly situation
And did you really think that you could walk and I'd be here waiting
[Chorus]
Your turn to cry your heart out
Let me stop before you start out
Don't need your explanations, no
'Cause I don't really wanna know
About the way you're feeling now
'Cause you're the one who got time out
So go and you can cry your heart out
[Bridge]
Cry, cry, cry
It's time for you to stop already
Done enough to put out the fires you left behind
Why, why, why?
Everything you ever did is
Come and gone, look at me now
Did not want you, so it's...
[Chorus]
Your turn, your turn to cry your heart out
Let me stop before you start out
Don't need your explanations, no
'Cause I don't really wanna know
About the way you're feeling now
'Cause you're the one who got time out
So go and you can, and you can, and you can
Your turn to cry your heart out
Let me stop before you start out
Don't need your explanations, no
'Cause I don't really wanna know
About the way you're feeling now
'Cause your the one who got time out
So go and you can cry your heart out
