Cry Baby

"Cry Baby" is a track by Melanie Martinez featuring Halsey. It was released November 15th, 2017. Contrary to popular belief, it will not be on Halsey's upcoming 3rd studio album.

Theme
Growing up, Melanie was labeled a cry baby, a nickname for people who get upset over the simplest things. "Cry Baby" is a song bashing that because she doesn't care what people call her. Halsey shouts words of encouragement.

Lyrics
[Verse 1, Melanie]

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

[Pre-Chorus, Melanie]

Someone's turning the handle to that faucet in your eyes

You pour it out where everyone can see

Your heart's too big for your body, it's why it won't fit inside

You pour it out where everyone can see

[Chorus, Melanie]

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'll just let them drown

You'll just let them drown

Cry baby, cry baby

[Verse 2, Melanie]

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

[Pre-Chorus, Melanie]

Someone's turning the handle to that faucet in your eyes

You pour it out where everyone can see

Your heart's too big for your body, it's why it won't fit inside

You pour it out where everyone can see

[Chorus, Melanie and Halsey]

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'll just let them drown

You'll just let them drown

Cry baby, cry baby

[Bridge, Halsey]

There's no use crying about it

There's no use crying about it

There's no use crying about it

There's no use crying about it

[Chorus, Melanie and Halsey]

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'll just let them drown

You'll just let them drown

Cry baby, cry baby

[Outro, Melanie and Halsey]

Cry baby, cry baby

Cry baby, cry baby

Cry baby, cry baby

Cry baby, cry baby
