This was Them & I’s first collaboration, done with the artist Orlando. Both artists went through breakups, and as they were processing their feelings about it, the song ‘see me cry’ was created.
Them & I
[Verse 1]
We used to talk about how we'd grow old
But now your ghost is all I have to hold
Yeah now you're just someone I used to know
There's nothing left but scars for me to show
Both Them & I and Orlando
[Chorus]
Oh ~~
You ~~
You were never meant to see me cry (cry)
You ~~
You were meant to be the one to watch me die (die)
Verse 2
[Orlando]
I'll always love you but clearly you don't
I remember the look on your face when you were outside having a smoke
I'll always love you but that's not my fault
Wanna tell you how much that I need you but the words get stuck in my throat
Chorus
[Both Them & I and Orlando]
You ~~
You were never meant to see me cry (cry)
You ~~ (You were never meant to see me)
You were meant to be the one to watch me die (die)
(Meant to be the one to watch me die)
Die ~
