champagne tears

do you ever wonder why you 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 been running in place

in the crowds

you're tryna climb

tryna make it

losing every sense of you

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

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

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

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

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
