Another night sleepless
I don't want to feel this
Nothing can stop this pain
Trying to get to a time I forget you
Still tangled in yesterday

It's so easy for you
To give nothing for me
Did you ever feel anything?

I want you to cry over me
Die over me
Even for a moment
Even for a moment

I want you to hurt over me
Feel what I feel
I want you to cry over, die over me
Baby, just for one time

I want your heart broken
Some sign of emotion
Wanna to see the tears tumble down

Show me I meant something
And that you feel nothing
But your world crashing to the ground

It's so easy for you
To forget about me
Did I ever mean anything?

I want you to cry over me
Die over me
Even for a moment
Even for a moment

I want you to hurt over me
Feel what I feel
I want you to cry over, die over me
Baby, just for one time

Cry, cry, cry

But did you feel something?
Did we mean nothing at all?

I want you to cry over, cry over me
Die over me
Even for a moment
Even for a moment

I want you to hurt over me
Feel what I feel
Even for a moment
Oh, why can't you just cry over, die over me

Baby, why can't you hurt like I do
Like I hurt over you
Can't you cry over, die over me
Baby, just for one time

I want you to cry over, die over me
Baby, want you to fall on your knees
Baby, crawl back to me
Want you to cry over, die over me
Baby, just one time

Cry, cry, cry
