Cruel Ways

(album: On Desire - 2016)

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
