lyrics

I don't cry crocodile tears
I don't pretend that I am sad
You think I made up all my fears
but I don't need attention that bad
I don't cry crocodile tears
I'm not an actor in some show
You made it happen, you should know

Uh oh, you should have controlled the tides
Why don't you keep it to yourself,
keep it to yourself or die

Uh oh, you're showing your vocal range
Why don't you keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself, you're deranged

Selfish, greedy, needy little piece of shit
That is what they call me but I can't help it

I don't cry crocodile tears
I don't pretend that I am sad
You think I made up all my fears
but I don't need attention that bad
I don't cry crocodile tears
I'm not an actor in some show
You made it happen, you should know
You should know

I cry-y-y-yah
cry-y-y-yah
cry-y-y-yah, y-yah
I cry-y-y-yah
cry-y-y-yah
cry-y-y-yah, y-yah

Oh, you just had to let it out
You always find a reason why,
find something to complain about

Never meant to be like this,
feel the rain in my brain,
it's a perfect storm
I can't control the weather and you know that
You wouldn't ask G-d to change the forecast
Would you
Would you

'Cause hating the inevitable don't do shit
Darling, your opinion is irrelevant

I don't cry crocodile tears
I don't pretend that I am sad
You think I made up all my fears
but I don't need attention that bad
I don't cry crocodile tears
I'm not an actor in some show
You made it happen, you should know
You should know

I cry-y-y-yah
cry-y-y-yah
cry-y-y-yah, y-yah
I cry-y-y-yah
cry-y-y-yah
cry-y-y-yah, y-yah

I wouldn't want to hurt on purpose, purpose
Yeah

I don't cry crocodile tears
I don't pretend that I am sad
You think I made up all my fears
but I don't need attention that bad
I don't cry crocodile tears
I'm not an actor in some show
You made it happen, you should know
You should know
