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.
Holding your breath
Trying to ready yourself
For whatever I'm gonna do
Will I drag you in bed
Trying to fix it with sex
Or will I tell you I'm done with you
I know, I know, I know I'm complicated kinda crazy but
Will you stay the night?
No I don't mean to be cruel
I know, I know it's hard to trust me
But if you let me I
I'll make it right
I don't ever mean to
Take it out on you
I don't want to hurt you
But I always do
I don't have a clue what's fucking wrong with me
But I'm always turning on the ones that love me
I don't ever mean to
No I don't mean to be cruel
Dropping the Ls
Like there's nobody else
But there's somebody on my heart
I'm trying my best to fall in love with myself
Never thought it would be this hard
I know I know I know it's complicated and frustrating you
Wish that I were fine
I know that it's a lot to ask of you to wait for me but please
Give me a little more time 'cause
I don't ever mean to
Take it out on you
I don't want to hurt you
But I always do
I don't have a clue what's fucking wrong with me
But I'm always turning on the ones that love me
I don't ever mean to
No I don't mean to be cruel
Cruel
Yeah I got a couple problems
Yeah I'm trying to work on them
Yeah I promise I'm working on them
Will you wait as I'm working on them
'Cause you know
I don't ever mean to
Take it out on you
I don't want to hurt you
But I always do
I don't have a clue what's fucking wrong with me
But I'm always turning on the ones that love me
I don't ever mean to
No I don't mean to be cruel
No I don't mean to be cruel
No I don't mean to be cruel
Cruel
