Saddest girl she has to be,
salty tears stream down her cheek.
Her heart's bigger than her body.
Her name is Cry Baby.

When she was little, Melanie was called a Cry baby, someone who cries easily. Therefore, the song is about people who are extremely sensitive and get triggered easily. The song is about a struggle of self acceptance and how her story of loving herself begins.
Music Video and Lyrics;
[Verse 1]
You seem to replace
Your brain with your heart
You take things so hard
And then you fall apart
You try to explain
But before you can start
Those cry baby tears
Come out of the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone's turning the handle
To the faucet in your eyes
You're pouring out
Where everyone can see
Your heart's too big for your body
It's why you won't fit inside
You're pouring out
Where everyone can see
[Chorus]
They call you cry baby
Cry baby
But you don't fucking care
Cry baby, cry baby
So you laugh through your tears
Cry baby, cry baby
'Cause you don't fucking care
Tears fall to the ground
You just let them drown
You just let them drown
Cry baby, Cry baby
[Verse 2]
You're all on your own and
You lost all your friends
You told yourself that
It's not you, it's them
You're one of a kind
And no one understands
But those cry baby tears
Keep coming back again
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone's turning the handle
To the faucet in your eyes
You're pouring out
Where everyone can see
Your heart's too big for your body
It's why you won't fit inside
You're pouring out
Where everyone can see
[Chorus]
They call you cry baby
Cry baby
But you don't fucking care
Cry baby, cry baby
So you laugh through your tears
Cry baby, cry baby
'Cause you don't fucking care
Tears fall to the ground
You just let them drown
Cry baby, cry baby
You just let them drown
Cry baby, cry baby
You just let them drown
[Bridge]
I look at you and
I see myself
And I know you better
Than anyone else
I have the same faucet in my eyes
So your tears
Are mine
[Chorus]
They call me cry baby
Cry baby
But I don't fucking care
Cry baby, cry baby
I laugh through my tears
Cry baby, cry baby
'Cause I don't fucking care
Tears fall to the ground
I just let them drown
[Outro]
Cry baby, cry baby
I just let them drown
Cry baby, cry baby
You just let them drown
They call you cry baby, cry baby
I just let them drown
Cry baby, cry baby
You just let them drown
