Cry Baby Lyrics

You seem to replace
Your brain with your heart
You take things so hard
And then you fall apart

You try to explain
But before you can start
Those cry baby tears
Come out of the dark

Someone's turning the handle
To the faucet in your eyes
They're pouring out
Where everyone can see

Your heart's too big for your body
That's why it won't fit inside
They're pouring out
Where everyone can see

They call you cry baby, cry baby
But you don't fucking care
Cry baby, cry baby
So you laugh through your tears

Cry baby, cry baby
'Cause you don't fucking care
Tears fall to the ground
You just let them drown

(You just let them drown)
(Cry baby, cry baby)

You're all on your own
And you lost all your friends
You told yourself that
It's not you, it's them

You're one of a kind
And no one understands
But those cry baby tears
Keep coming back again

Someone's turning the handle
To the faucet in your eyes
They're pouring out
Where everyone can see

Your heart's too big for your body
That's why it won't fit inside
They're pouring out
Where everyone can see

They call you cry baby, cry baby
But you don't fucking care
Cry baby, cry baby
So you laugh through your tears

Cry baby, cry baby
'Cause you don't fucking care
Tears fall to the ground
You just let them drown

(Cry baby, cry baby)
(You just let them drown)
(Cry baby, cry baby)
(You just let them drown)

I look at you and I see myself
And I know you better than anyone else
I have the same faucet in my eyes
So your tears are mine

They call me cry baby, cry baby
But I don't fucking care
Cry baby, cry baby
I laugh through my tears

Cry baby, cry baby
'Cause I don't fucking care
Tears fall to the ground
I just let them drown

(Cry baby, cry baby)
(I just let them drown)
(Cry baby, cry baby)
(We'll just let them drown)

(They call you cry baby, cry baby)
(I just let them drown)
(Cry baby, cry baby)
(We'll just let them drown)

Melanie Adele Martinez (born April 28, 1995), known professionally as Melanie Martinez, is an American singer, songwriter, music video director, and photographer. Born in Astoria, Queens and raised in Baldwin, New York on Long Island, she first participated in the MSG Varsity Talent Show during her junior year of high school, and subsequently rose to prominence in 2012 after appearing on the American television vocal talent show The Voice. She auditioned singing Britney Spears's Toxic, and made it to the Top 6 before being eliminated in the fifth week of live shows.

Immediately following her departure from the show, she began independent work on original material. Having been a fan favorite, she was heavily supported by fans, and produced her first music video for her single, Dollhouse. Dollhouse is her most successful single to date, having been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Signing to Atlantic Records soon after, she released her debut EP, Dollhouse (2014).

Martinez later released her debut studio album, Cry Baby (2015), which debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the RIAA. The three singles from the album had been released in the months leading up to the release of the album. Her second studio album is currently in the works and is expected to be released in January 2018.

Martinez is often cited as one of the only major successes of The Voice. Her music mostly revolves around the protagonist of her concept album, Cry Baby, and discusses themes of family disputes, body image, romance, and coming-of-age. She is known for her two-toned hair and her dark lyrics concepts. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
