[Verse 1]
I'm on another continent
And I am so content in it
You are my holiday now
And I will celebrate you well
You said, "Hello, how are you?"
"I'm very well, thank you, and you?"
"Oh, life is swell" "Well, we're so well"
I'm very, very well
Was feeling quite content
'Til like a compliment
You rear your ugly head
And smite the smile
[Chorus]
Cry me a river that I can swim inside
And keep me around
I really never stay a while
And I'm happier than a funeral
And I wish it was mine
Would fill me with life
Fill me with life
[Post-Chorus]
This week's been rough and it's rough ahead
Would be fine if I was in your bed instead
[Verse 2]
I'm on another continent
And I can't stand one bit of it
And if I pass the time enough
I can crawl back into my bed
What are you gonna do?
Drop a bomb and see what's new?
Give me a point of view
And I'll get back to you
[Chorus]
Cry me a river that I can swim inside
And keep me around, keep chasing the sun
You know it never stays a while
And I'm happier than a funeral
And I wish it was mine
Would fill me with life
Fill me with life
[Outro]
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
