Cruel Cruel

I wanna run away

To somewhere far and somewhere safe

So scared of this place

'Cause you don't even know me

And you don't even care that I've been lonely

And tired of fighting

In the den of the lions

Where I won't give up trying

And in the dead of the night, I wait

Early morning and I still haven't got some sleep

Call me crazy

Call me baby

You can call me weak

You don't even know

No, you don't even know

That the weight of the world on me

I've been there and back again

And it seems to me

That a promise isn't something you keep

And a secret never lasts

It only sees what you see

'Cause it's a cruel, cruel ride

And if you want to come inside

You better sit up and shut your eyes

And hold on for dear life

'Cause if you don't

Then you will surely lose your mind

But I won't

I wanna hide my face

I wanna find the strength to get through this

Oh, I know I can do it

It's the taste in my mouth

It's the nauseousness

It's my stomach in knots

Forming cascades of gunshots

Leaving me holding a pen and this page

And these words filled with rage

In the dead of the night, I wait

Early morning and I still haven't got some sleep

Call me crazy

Call me baby

You can call me weak

'Cause you don't even know

'Cause it's a cruel, cruel ride

And if you want to come inside

You better sit up and shut your eyes

And hold on for dear life

'Cause if you don't

Then you will surely lose your mind

But I won't

I won't

Hello, can anyone hear me?

Oh, does anyone know me?

No, can anyone hear me?

No, can anyone love me?

No, can anyone, can anyone hear me?

'Cause it's a cruel, cruel ride

And if you want to come inside

You better sit up and shut your eyes

And hold on for dear life

'Cause if you don't

Then you will surely lose your mind

But I won't

But I won't

I won't

I won't
