it's actually a phrase meaning "suck it up" or "deal with it", showing that you think the person is overreacting. Like if a friend of you comes to you and says "I broke my pen.." and you find the problem to be trivial, you would tell him/her, "cry me a river"

it's usually a bit of a rude phrase though, so I wouldn't use it to a stranger 😂.
