Verse 1]
Teeth tight, blood on my tongue
Sick of the taste of what you’ve done
Every word you ever said
Still stuck screaming in my head
Hands shake but I don’t cry
You don’t get that side of mine
You took more than I could lose
Now there’s nothing left but you
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don’t want your touch
I don’t need you that much
But you carved into my skin
Now I can’t pull it out again
[Chorus]
It’s cruel to be like you
Empty down to the truth
Say you love me like it’s proof
God, it’s cruel to be like you
You don’t feel, you just take
Leave me clean, wide awake
I was real, you were use
Yeah, it’s cruel to be like you
[Verse 2]
Cold stare, I know that look
Like I’m just another hook
Pull me in, then cut me loose
Like I’m something you abuse
Every lie you let me taste
Still rotting in my veins
You don’t break, you don’t bruise
You just pass the damage through
[Pre-Chorus]
I was fire, you were smoke
I was real, you just broke
Everything I tried to keep
Now it’s buried way too deep
[Chorus]
It’s cruel to be like you
Empty down to the truth
Say you love me like it’s proof
God, it’s cruel to be like you
You don’t feel, you just take
Leave me clean, wide awake
I was real, you were use
Yeah, it’s cruel to be like you
[Bridge]
I don’t want you, I don’t care
That’s the lie I always wear
‘Cause the truth is way too sick
I’d still choose you over this
[Outro]
It’s cruel… what you do
How you kill without a wound
Still I choke on what we grew
…yeah, it’s cruel I needed you
