The Ruler

You're arrogant

But I thought it was confidence

You're smooth so I believed the things you'd say

After a couple weeks

You were kinda mean to me

You said that you were going through some things you can't explain

And you hurt me

'Cause you've been hurt before

I still said sorry

Though I was lying on your floor

I've gotten really good at being nice in times I shouldn't

I tried to empathise, rationalise the things you do

Yeah, you give me rhinestones, I'll try and find a diamond

You say it's a cruel world

Sure, but you don't have to makе it crueler

You don't have to bе the ruler

You pick me up

Then drive me round and build me up

And drop me off and drive right to her house

You own the place

At least you do inside your brain

You fantasise, arrive and then your subjects bowing down

And you hurt me

'Cause you've been hurt before

I still said sorry

Though I was crying on your floor

I've gotten really good at being nice in times I shouldn't

I tried to empathise, rationalise the things you do

Yeah, you give me rhinestones, I'll try and find a diamond

You say it's a cruel world

Sure, but you don't have to make it crueler

You don't have to be the ruler

You don't have to make these rules that I can't follow so you punish me in Soho

It's my fault, I should've known

I'm a smart girl with a heart of gold

And you said it right to me but now you're gone and your hands are clean

I've gotten way too good at loving you in times I shouldn't

I tried to empathise, rationalise the things you do

Yeah, you give me rhinestones, I'll try and find a diamond

You say it's a cruel world

Okay

You say it's a cruel world

Sure

But you don't have to make it crueler

You don't have to be the ruler

You don't have to be the ruler
