Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can feel it
Girl, pick up your phone, I can't believe it
I can feel my spirit slowly leaving
I can't see myself and I'm not breathing
I'm not breathing
Slowly bleeding
I wish that I told you all my feelings
I hope that I live life for a reason
But at least you'll play this song
When I'm gone
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Hope that you still cry for me
Like I cry 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, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
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 the stage took a toll
Been faded on the floor
In this penthouse prison, I'm alone
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Hope that you still cry for me
Like I cry 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, oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Everytime I hit the road
It takes a little piece of me
Kills me slowly
When I needed you the most
You always gave me sympathy
Now you're over me
[Verse 4]
Now you're better on your own
It ain't a fuckin' mystery
You've been showin' me
Now I've been burning up my home
Baby
I've been burnin' up my home
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Hope that you still cry for me
Like I cry 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, oh yeah
