Cruel Lyrics by Dane Rumble

The Experiment

2009

[Verse 1]
Baby, this is really goodbye
The curtains 'bout to fall and I'm about to walk out your life
Hate me, if you like
Girl I'm tired of being burned
Sorry ain't gonna cut it this time

[Pre-Chorus]
And did you wanna stay there, you can lead your heart astray
And if you close your eyes, I'll go away
But I can tell you right now, since the damage is done
Don't bother picking up the pieces
Rather you'd fade away

[Chorus]
How could you be so cruel to me and yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it, I doubt it, I doubt it
Don't wanna hear another word about it, about it, yeah

[Verse 2]
Baby, this is really goodbye
Well excuse me if I'm mad
You really hung me out to dry

[Pre-Chorus]
And did you wanna stay there, you can lead your heart astray
And if you close your eyes, I'll go away
But I can tell you right now, since the damage is done
Don't bother picking up the pieces
Rather you'd fade away

[Chorus]
How could she be so cruel to me and yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it, I doubt it, I doubt it
Don't wanna hear another word about it, about it, yeah

[Verse 3]
This is more than just a break up song
Plans for life have to break the fall, slap in the face kinda wake up call
Well too bad, a rich man to wake up for
We used to be tight, right as the rain
Since that night no other night be the same
It's fair to say she ain't right in the brain, she like poison, put right to the vein

[Bridge]
Was it all my fault, please tell me did I push you away?
Was it my absence led to the damage that eventually led you astray?
Where did we go wrong, wait a minute what am I tryna say?
You messed up, it's on you (turn around and)
Please walk away

[Chorus]
How could she be so cruel to me and yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it, I doubt it, I doubt it
Don't wanna hear another word about it, about it, yeah
