Lyrics
Cruel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can say love's forever
And find it never stays
In you I've recovered
The one thing that must remain
I'm tired of a world undone
I've figured out you're my setting sun
Chorus:
It's cruel
The way I'm needing you
Guess I'll play the fool
It's my heart, not my mind and it's taking over
Cruel
Suddenly it's true
No longer can I choose
It's in you I'm defined and there is no other
Oh it's cruel
Oh it's cruel
I can hold back emotions
Get lost in a maze
But this urgency tells me
I just can't refrain
Dreams have come and passed me by
But now it's time to redefine
Chorus
I've seen it come and go so many times
But this is critical - the truth I can't hide
And I don't know why
Chorus x2 to fade
