What does "cry me a river" mean?
Is this an expression?

We usually say this to people who are complaining about something or feeling sorry for themselves, and we think that what they are complaining about is stupid, ridiculous, hypocritical or insignificant. It is like saying, "Shut up, you have no reason to complain." Sometimes, it can also suggest we will enjoy watching them cry.
