Cruel Summer

You know I get it, that guilt be fitted
Bathtub full of bad blood, and you just
Soaking in it, can't get rid it
Love-struck, got you mud stuck, and now you
Over-timid, past your limit
I know it's hard but I promise you'll be fine
Just give yourself some time
Give it time and

Don't get caught in it, caught in it, caught in it, girl
Never let another man straighten them curves
You are worth more than he'll ever deserve
You and I know who really run this world
Get caught in it, caught in it, caught in it, girl
Never let another man straighten them curves
You are worth more than he'll ever deserve
You and I know who run this world

Can't control it, everybody know it
Sometimes we reap what somebody else sowing
Split life living, Central and Pacific
In the same home, two different time zones
Strength you exhibit deserves a lotta credit
I know it's hard but I promise you'll be fine
These things can take some time

Don't get caught in it, caught in it, caught in it, girl
Never let another man straighten them curves
You are worth more than he'll ever deserve
You and I know who really run this world
Get caught in it, caught in it, caught in it, girl
Never let another man straighten them curves
You are worth more than he'll ever deserve
You and I know who run this world

You know, um...
I'm not saying he's a bad dude or anything like that
Maybe he was treated that way
And decided never to find himself in that position again
He acts out of fear
You know, we all human in the end
We all make mistakes, you feel me?

Caught in a, caught in a, caught in a trap
Running on wheels but we don't admit that
Five steps forward and five steps back
Ten steps forward and ten steps back
Caught in it, caught in it, caught in it bad
Why do I always miss what I had
I'm five steps forward and five steps back
Ten steps forward and ten steps back

Five steps forward and five steps back
Ten steps forward and ten steps back
Five steps forward and five steps back
Ten steps forward and ten steps back
Five steps forward and five steps back
Ten steps forward and ten steps back
Five steps forward and five steps back
Ten steps forward and ten steps back
Five steps forward and five steps back
Ten steps forward and ten steps back
Five steps forward and five steps back
Ten steps forward and ten steps back
