You Love To Watch Me Cry

Some people don’t break your heart.
They simply keep handing it back in pieces.

You Love To Watch Me Cry is about recognising emotional manipulation while still finding yourself caught inside it. Every apology, every return and every small act of cruelty becomes part of a cycle that’s easier to see from the outside than it is to escape from within.

Mmm yeah

You leave the lights on when you know I’m breaking
Pour another drink while my heart is shaking
Smile like a villain when the tears start falling
You say it’s nothing but we both know what you’re calling

I’m drowning in the silence you’re floating on the sound
Every crack inside me you wear it like a crown

You love to watch me cry
You love to watch me fall apart
You love the way I die
A little more inside my heart
Every tear is your favourite song
You play it slow when the night is long
You love to watch me cry
Yeah you love to watch me cry

You text me I miss you right after you ghost me
Kiss me like poison then act like you don’t know me
Keep me in your pocket like a broken little toy
Tell all your friends that I’m just being paranoid

I’m bleeding on the carpet you’re laughing in the dark
You say you hate the drama but you’re tearing me apart

You love to watch me cry
You love to watch me fall apart
You love the way I die
A little more inside my heart
Every tear is your favourite song
You play it slow when the night is long
You love to watch me cry
God you love to watch me cry

One day I’ll walk away leave the door wide open
You’ll finally feel the silence when the tears stop flowing
But tonight I’m still here letting you destroy me
‘Cause some sick part of me thinks you might enjoy me

You love to watch me cry
You love when I can’t say goodbye
You love the way I try
To keep this dead thing still alive
Every tear is your victory
You smile while you’re killing me
You love to watch me cry
Yeah you love to watch me cry

Mmm watch me cry
You love it don’t you?
