about

‘Cruel' is a song about a toxic relationship with someone or something that is holding you back in life. It's about trying your hardest to break through the dark times, whilst still being haunted by the past, and struggling to let go.

lyrics

I told you I would not let go
When I'm deep you stand in the shallow
I wait for you like a ghost at sea
When will you swim out to meet me

Don’t ever, ever, ever say that
I didn’t, didn’t ever love you
Don’t ever, ever, ever say that
I didn’t, didn’t ever love you

As God is my witness
I’ll never be this way again
As God is my witness
I’ll never live this lie
Never live this lie

I came to be something special
But you just test me, test me
You’re as cruel as the devil
You’re never gonna catch my heart
I’m never gonna break apart

Oh baby we were young
We were 17
Our blood ran hot
You were ecstasy
It’s only now that I believe
That the truth will set me free
It’s only now that I believe

As God is my witness
I’ll never be this way again
As God is my witness
I’ll never live this lie
Never live this lie

I came to be something special
But you just test me, test me
You’re as cruel as the devil
You’re never gonna catch my heart
I’m never gonna break apart

And I will not regress
Into the darkness
I’m not afraid to be alone, alone, alone
Ohhhhhh

Alone
Cruel x 8

As God is my witness
I’ll never be this way again
As God is my witness
I’ll never live this lie
Never live this lie

I came to be something special
But you just test me, test me
You’re as cruel as the devil
You’re never gonna catch my heart
I’m never gonna break apart x2
