Cruel

(album: Hotel Bleu - 2023)

(Cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel)
(Cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel)

I tried to run, but still you found the truth
'Cause it always leads me here right back to you
Broke another promise, but you still refuse
To watch me sink, why won't you let me lose

Underneath all our problems
Feeling like we just can't solve 'em
Take all the rage
All the pain
Turn the page
Start today
And even if you're at the bottom
Feeling like you've been forgotten
Take all the rage
All the pain
Burn the page
Start today

This world is cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel
If you got something to lose
If you got something to prove
This world is cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel
Face-to-face with the truth
Darkness always takes you
Head on

Now call me Tony Danza
Everybody throw hands up
Feels like I got nothing, yea I think I need an angel
I know you feel low
You've been down this bad before okay
And even still up on my best days
I start to crumble like an earthquake oh
I think I made another mistake
And now I gotta push the pain away
This head of mine feeling broken and shattered
But how you rebuild is all that matters

This world is cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel
If you got something to lose
If you got something to prove
This world is cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel
Face-to-face with the truth
Darkness always takes you
Head on

Teach me how to love
Teach me how to love myself
Teach me how to love
Teach me how to not destroy myself

This world is cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel
If you got something to lose (if you got something to lose)
If you got something to prove (prove)
This world is cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel
Face-to-face with the truth (face-to-face with the truth)
Darkness always takes you
Head on

(Cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel)
If you got something to lose
(Cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel)
This world is cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel
Face-to-face with the truth
Darkness always takes you
Head on
