Save Your Tears
The Weeknd Lyrics

I saw you dancing in a crowded room
You look so happy when I'm not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye

You could've asked me why I broke your heart
You could've told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn't there
And just pretended like you didn't care

I don't know why I run away
I'll make you cry when I run away

Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day

So, I made you think that I would always stay
I said some things that I should never say
Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine
And now you won't love me for a second time

I don't know why I run away, oh, girl
Said I'll make you cry when I run away

Girl, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
I realize that I'm much too late
And you deserve someone better
Save your tears for another day (ooh, yeah)
Save your tears for another day (yeah)

I don't know why I run away
I'll make you cry when I run away

Save your tears for another day, ooh, girl (ah)
I said save your tears for another day (ah)

Save your tears for another day (ah)
Save your tears for another day (ah)

The Weeknd's song Save Your Tears is a reflection on a past relationship and feelings of regret for causing someone pain. The song starts off by describing a scene where The Weeknd sees his ex-girlfriend dancing in a crowded room and she appears happy without him. However, when she sees him, she sheds a single tear, indicating that she misses him. The Weeknd then admits that he doesn't know why he ran away in the first place and that his actions have caused her pain.

He then acknowledges that he could have been there for her when she fell apart after their breakup, but he walked past her like she wasn't there. The chorus of the song urges her to save her tears for another day and to not cry over him anymore. The second verse is an apology for his actions and words that hurt her. He acknowledges that he broke her heart like someone did to his and he understands that she won't love him for a second time.

Overall, the song is about The Weeknd's realization that he hurt someone he cared about and wishes he could take back his actions. He acknowledges that the person he hurt deserves someone better and hopes that she can move on and save her tears for another day.

I saw you dancing in a crowded room
I noticed you enjoying yourself in a group of people

You look so happy when I'm not with you
You appear to be in high spirits when I'm not around

But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
However, when you spotted me, it took you aback

A single teardrop falling from your eye
A tear rolled out of your eye

I don't know why I run away
I'm uncertain why I flee from my problems

I'll make you cry when I run away
When I run away, I'll cause you to weep

You could've asked me why I broke your heart
You had the opportunity to query me about why I hurt you emotionally

You could've told me that you fell apart
You could have confided in me that you were disintegrating emotionally

But you walked past me like I wasn't there
Instead, you strolled past me as if you didn't see me

And just pretended like you didn't care
And acted as if you weren't affected

Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Allow me to return because I want to be with you

Save your tears for another
Don't cry for me

Save your tears for another day
Hold your tears off until some other time

So, I made you think that I would always stay
I gave you the impression that I would never abandon you

I said some things that I should never say
I made some statements that I should not have uttered

Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine
I shattered your heart like another person had shattered mine before

And now you won't love me for a second time
As a result, you won't love me again

I don't know why I run away, oh, girl
I'm still unsure why I run away, my dear

Said I'll make you cry when I run away
I already knew that whenever I take off, you'll weep

Girl, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Please welcome me back because I wish to remain with you

I realize that I'm much too late
I acknowledge that I'm too tardy

And you deserve someone better
And you deserve someone superior to me

Save your tears for another day (ooh, yeah)
Hold your tears off until another day

Save your tears for another day (yeah)
Abstain from shedding tears for me for now

Save your tears for another day (ah)
Hold your tears off until another day

Save your tears for another day (ah)
Hold your tears off until another day
