Cruel World
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.
I'm putting you out of your misery
Cause darling you're dragging me down
I wish I could say that I'm sorry
But I'm over that, now I'm taking you out
It's a cruel, cruel world
I used to see beauty in people
But now I see muscle and bones
You know I never wanted to hurt you
But I'm sorry, my friend, this is the end
So I'm saying my goodbyes
Goodbye to my good side
It only ever got me hurt
And I finally learned
It's a cruel, cruel world
Erase you from my mind
I'm sorry, but I'm cutting all the ties
So I'm saying my goodbyes
Good bye to my good side
It only ever got me hurt
And I finally learned
It's a cruel, cruel world
