Background[]
Original Version[]
"Cry" is an original English song, composed by Eyeris (Creep-P) and featuring GUMI. The song tells about a lonely crybaby who tries everything to stop crying but cannot just bring himself to do so. The person also expresses the desire to die but soon manages to love himself and to stop hurting himself. Even so, he still wants to cry.
Redux Version[]
The redux version features Kagamine Len English. Eyeris updated the song after he was inspired to start a new series, MR. SAD BOY. Though it is not the first song released, it is considered the official beginning to the series. The character depicted in this song is the protagonist of the series.
The song tells a story about a boy named Willian. As his life went on, he began to feel as if he was different. He did not know how, exactly, until he noticed that there were patches appearing on his neck that began to more colorful and saturated. This was dangerous, as in his society, if anyone is seen to have color on them in any form (i.e. not in the colors of black and white), they are no longer seen as a "normal and functioning human being," and thus are quickly ostracized. Because of this, Willian had to hide it or face the consequences, and he was very afraid of being found out.
One day, he realized that he could only hide it for a short time, as the patches were starting to become more intense, he made the decision to run away, into the woods, knowing that if he was found out he would be shunned, hated, and hurt anyway. However, he believed that running off would also lead to his death, so he was in a hopeless situation either way.
However, as he struggled through the forest, before the minuscule amount of hope he had left was gone, he came upon a large, bright tent with loud circus music—the CIRCO DE NEONS. He entered the tent, noticing that the two clowns at the entrance were staring at him despite not being able to see their faces. He was unsure if he would regret this decision, but he began to feel something.

Lyrics[]
The tears shed have not stopped flowing
They just refused to stop flowing
My anger's overflowing
"Just get over it."
"It's not worth it."
A crybaby has no place
Salty tears go down my face
The boy will continue to cry
Until I'm convinced I have to die
But I tried everything
In the way
That I can
But I tried everything
In the ways
But I can't
I'm a big crybaby
I am not worth my life
I cannot stop crying
I have tried everything
I've tried it all
I cannot stop
Can't stop crying
But I'm trying
I can't mature
But I'll endure
The pain and mess...
My life's a mess
Mommy's gone
I'm left all alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Left in tears so I can drown
A crybaby has no place
Salty tears go down my face
The boy will continue to cry
Until I'm convinced I have to die
But I tried everything
In the way
That I can
But I tried everything
In the ways
But I can't
I'm a big crybaby
I am not worth my life
I cannot stop crying
I have tried everything
I've tried it all
I cannot stop
Can't stop crying
But I'm trying
I can't mature
But I'll endure
The pain and mess...
My life's a mess
But I'll love myself
I will stop trying to hurt myself
But I want to cry
A crybaby
Just a sucker
I'm such a sap
Enough of that
I'm so sorry
That I'm off-tune
Please don't worry
I'll be gone soon
But I tried everything
In the way
That I can
But I tried everything
In the ways
But I can't
I'm a big crybaby
I am not worth my life
I cannot stop crying
I have tried everything
I've tried it all
I cannot stop
Can't stop crying
But I'm trying
I can't mature
But I'll endure
The pain and mess...
My life's a mess
But I'll love myself
I will stop trying to hurt myself
But I want to cry
But I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna die
The tears shed have not stopped flowing
All the memories keep rewinding
Anger level's boiling
Now I got my hit, but was it worth it?
A crybaby has no place
Salty tears go down my face
I'm that boy who won't stop crying
Until I'm convinced I'll stop trying
Here I am
At the end
Of a road
Known too well
What a shame!
Every tear
That I've cried
Genuine
Here I am
Once again
I find this
Kinda sad
Me crying
You leaving
A cycle
Repeating
You and I both know that something's off here
But is that just a dumb irrational fear?
Memories are blurring
The signs of a disappearing
Am I right or am I just a
Big crybaby?
You're all gone
I'm left all alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Left with fear all of my own
A crybaby has no place
Salty tears go down my face
I'm that boy who won't stop crying
Until I'm convinced I'll stop trying
Here I am
At the end
Of a road
Known too well
What a shame!
Every tear
That I've cried
Genuine
Here I am
Once again
I find this
Kinda sad
Me crying
You leaving
A cycle
Repeating
You and I both know that something's off here
But is that just a dumb irrational fear?
Memories are blurring
The signs of a disappearing
Am I right or am I just a
Big crybaby?
Tonight, I will cry
Knowing that I'm not alright
Mouth shut, fears out
Tonight, I will cry
Oh, you have ruined me the best you can
But there's one thing left that I don't understand...
Why me? Why me? Why me?
But why have the crybaby when you can have somebody...
Better
Here I am
At the end
Of a road
Known too well
What a shame!
Every tear
That I've cried
Genuine
Here I am
Once again
I find this
Kinda sad
Me crying
You leaving
A cycle
Repeating
You and I both know that something's off here
But is that just a dumb irrational fear?
Memories are blurring
The signs of a disappearing
Am I right or am I just a
Big crybaby?
Tonight, I will cry
Knowing that I'm not alright
Mouth shut, fears out
Tonight, I will cry
