[Intro]
You said, “Be honest”
Then flinched at the truth
You dressed in silver
But your heart was crude
[Verse 1]
Cold coffee on your countertop
You love me ‘til the camera stops
You kiss me like you’re signing off
Then vanish when the credits drop
You’re smiling while you twist the knife
Pretty poison on a Friday night
You call it love, I call it spite
You call, I crawl, then you cut the line
[Chorus]
You’re so cruel
Turn my veins into a swimming pool
Drown me in the deep end of you
Then blame me when you’re bored
You’re so cruel
Play my ribs like you’re breaking rules
Break my faith just to feel brand new
And still you want more, more, more
(yeah, you’re cruel)
[Verse 2]
You write my name on a paper plane
Throw it off the bridge and watch it fade
You say “forever” when the weather’s great
First storm cloud, you evacuate
You only call when your sky goes black
You only care when I’m not intact
You wear my tears like a velvet badge
You take what’s left, never give it back
[Chorus]
You’re so cruel
Turn my veins into a swimming pool
Drown me in the deep end of you
Then blame me when you’re bored
You’re so cruel
Play my ribs like you’re breaking rules
Break my faith just to feel brand new
And still you want more, more, more
(oh, you’re cruel)
[Bridge]
Hands on my neck like a diamond chain
You say it’s love, I just taste the pain
Tell me again how it’s all my fault
While you dance on the faultline, shake the vault
If this is love, then I need a cure
If this is us, I’m not even sure
But every time that you slam that door
I’m on the floor, begging
[Chorus]
You’re so cruel
Turn my veins into a swimming pool
Drown me in the deep end of you
Then blame me when you’re bored
You’re so cruel
Play my ribs like you’re breaking rules
Break my faith just to feel brand new
And still you want more, more, more
Yeah, you’re cruel
Rip my heart like it’s something disposable
Still I crawl when you whisper my name
Guess I’m addicted to cruel, cruel, cruel
(guess I’m addicted to you)
