Tears I Cried (feat. XXXTentation)

Juice WRLD's 'Tears I Cried (feat. XXXTentation)' is a poignant exploration of emotional exhaustion and the devastating impact of love and loss. The song delves into the artist's struggle with heartbreak, revealing a deep sense of weariness and despair. The repeated lines, 'All my tears have been used up on another love,' highlight the feeling of being emotionally drained, unable to muster the strength to love again. This sentiment is further emphasized by the desire to cry but feeling incapable of doing so, as all tears have already been shed for past relationships.

The lyrics also touch on the theme of self-destruction and the toll that emotional pain can take on one's mental and physical health. Juice WRLD describes himself as a 'ticking time bomb,' indicating a sense of impending doom and the inevitability of his downfall. The references to substance abuse, such as 'Molly and Smirnoff,' suggest a coping mechanism to numb the pain, but ultimately, it only exacerbates his feelings of being lost and out of control. The line 'Gotta say goodbye to my mom, sell my belongings, I won't be here for too long' is particularly haunting, hinting at thoughts of mortality and the desire to escape the overwhelming emotions.

The collaboration with XXXTentation adds another layer of depth to the song, as both artists were known for their raw and honest portrayals of their struggles with mental health and emotional pain. The song serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of addressing these issues and the impact that unresolved trauma can have on an individual's well-being. 'Tears I Cried' is a heart-wrenching reflection on the complexities of love, loss, and the human condition, resonating deeply with listeners who have experienced similar emotional turmoil.
