Save Your Tears (remix) (feat. The Weeknd)

The 'Save Your Tears (remix)' by Ariana Grande featuring The Weeknd is a poignant exploration of regret and the complexities of relationships. The song delves into the emotions of seeing a former lover moving on, the pain of causing hurt, and the realization that it might be too late to mend what's been broken.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a crowded room where the protagonist sees their ex-partner seemingly happy without them. This sighting triggers a mix of emotions, including regret and a desire to return to the relationship. However, there's an acknowledgment of the damage done, as the singer admits to making their partner cry and running away from the relationship. The repeated line 'Save your tears for another day' suggests a plea to the ex-partner to not waste emotions on a lost cause or perhaps to hold onto their dignity and not show vulnerability in the face of heartbreak.

The song also touches on the theme of self-awareness and growth. The mention of a 'Pisces Moon' could symbolize a moment of clarity or a significant turning point in their emotional understanding. The protagonist recognizes that it's 'much too late' and that their former lover 'deserves someone better,' indicating a painful but necessary acceptance of the situation. The refrain to 'save your tears' becomes a bittersweet goodbye, a wish for the other person to find happiness elsewhere, free from the pain of their past relationship.
