cry me a river
besides the awesome justin timberlake song, an expression that means i've been through worse, you're being a drama queen
cry me a river
Said in response to some ones sob story. Shortened from the full statement of "Cry me a river, build a bridge and GET THE FUCK OVER IT!"
Very old saying predating any Justin Timberflake warbles or other pop culture references. Interestingly still in common use today.

a REALLY REALLY REALLY bad song by justin timberlake. one of the parts has justin singing "cry me a river" over and over again in a really annoying voice.
Example:
Radio playing at a store: Cry me a river! Cry me a river!
Me: Oh god oh god oh god not this song again!
*i head to the gun store*
Me: Take this you piece of shit!
*radio is blown to bits by my brand new 30-06 :D*
Me: Yaaay! ^_^

Beside the bad singer's one, there is a classic, popular version of a song with this title published by Arthur Hamilton in 1953 and later performed by numerous other artists. Julie London's version (1955) is the most famous, and was recently featured in "V for Vendetta" soundtrack.

To feel like you were getting close to someone and then you find something out about them that is deceitful.
Example:
He was so sweet and I bought it. Now I'm done. I see you. Don't be sad, it's your fault- go cry me a river.
