Discover the story of the song > I’m Not Crying You’re Crying – pinkshift

The protagonist is very upset and apologetic about being emotional in front of their partner. They try to hide their tears and fake being okay, but eventually ask their partner if they would listen to them if they opened up about what's been going on. The bridge suggests that their partner may not truly care, and the final chorus repeats the protagonist's attempts to convince their partner that they are fine.
