    The song is about a breakup, where the singer's ex partner is now lonely and claiming to be sorry. However, during the relationship the ex never cried or showed emotion, and told the singer that love was "too plebian" and they were through. Now to prove their love, the singer tells the ex to "cry me a river" - referring to the river of tears the singer cried over the ex.
