Champagne Tears

[Verse 1]
Do you ever wonder why you've been chasing
When you feel like running away?
Got the truth inside your mind and you hate it
Left alone with no one to blame
Like you run a million miles to erase it
Really, you've been running in place
In the crowd, you're tryna climb, tryna make it
Losing every sense of you

[Chorus]
Smiling on the outside, dying underneath
I been looking through you, you ain't fooling me
Aiming for the good life, all you think you need
Can't you see it's killing you softly and slowly?
Oh, cry me those champagne tears
Cry me those champagne tears
Here's to the pain you feel
Cry me those champagne tears

[Verse 2]
Aren't you tired of living life in a panic?
Things you said you'd never become
Left with someone you don't like and abandoned
Every sense of you

[Chorus]
Smiling on the outside, dying underneath
I been looking through you, you ain't fooling me
Aiming for the good life, all you think you need
Can't you see it's killing you softly and slowly?
Oh, cry me those champagne tears
Cry me those champagne tears
Here's to the pain you feel
Cry me those champagne tears

[Bridge]
I'll be ready, I'll be waiting if you wanna leave
Because it's not too late to be someone you wanna be
Let it out, let it out, let it out

[Chorus]
Oh, cry me those champagne tears
Cry me those champagne tears
Here's to the pain you feel
Cry me those champagne tears
Smiling on the outside, dying underneath
I been looking through you, you ain't fooling me
Aiming for the good life, all you think you need
Can't you see it's killing you softly and slowly?
Oh, cry me those champagne tears
