Cruel Ways
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.
There's an alternate meaning behind the words you spoke
I can hear that now
Well I know he wants you back
But I don't wanna let you go
Can you feel that?
It's tight enough to choke
How could you say a thing like that?
How could you say a thing like that?
I look to your face and see
It's telling me there's no retort
And the things I thought are coming true
Due to your cruel ways
Now we sleep in separate rooms
I talk to walls instead of you
Can you hear me? No?
I'm combining luck and chance
Hoping for you sideways glance so I can see you
You laugh but there's no joke
How could you say a thing like that?
How could you say a thing like that?
I look to your face and see
It's telling me there's no retort
And the things I thought are coming true
Due to your cruel ways
There's an alternate meaning behind the words you spoke
I can hear that now
I'm combining luck and chance
Hoping for you sideways glance so I can see you
You laugh but there's no joke
How could you say a thing like that?
How could you say a thing like that?
I look to your face and see it's telling me there's no retort
And the things I thought are coming true
Due to your cruel ways
True due to your cruel ways
