Cruel Lyrics by Mighloe

Desperate Times

2021

[Verse 1]
"Take him back"
They would always say to me
"He did nothing wrong
And with him there is more you can be"
Shut them out
I would try my very best
But for three long years
The voices were stuck inside of my head
[Chorus]
You were so cruel, you were so mean
All of the pain that you pressed upon me
Had me so frail and so afraid
Body was caving in more each day
So I would run fast as I can
From all this misery and blame
But with your words trapped in my head
I'd weaken my knees and for you I would fall
[Verse 2]
You would take me out
For a ride so late at night
I knew all about
How my body can't put up a fight
So I let you in
Every time I knew I'd run again
Till you needed more
Now I'm quaking in all your remains
[Chorus]
You were so cruel, you were so mean
All of the pain that you pressed upon me
Had me so frail and so afraid
Body was caving in more each day
So I would run fast as I can
From all this misery and blame
But with your words trapped in my head
I'd weaken my knees and for you I would fall
[Bridge]
But I won't fall for you no more
Finally gathered up all of my strength, I'm out the door
You owe me something that I know I'll never get back
And I'm hoping that I'll make it through it without
Someone will love me much better than you
Someone will need me, I know that it's true
[Chorus]
You were so cruel, you were so mean
All of the pain that you pressed upon me
It made me so strong and now I'm not afraid
I won't be let down like that again
So I will run fast as I can
To all the beauty in love that awaits
Here I will stand, happy again
Understanding my pain, I'm much better than you
