Cruel Ways

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's an alternate meaning Behind the words you spoke I can hear that now Well, I know he wants you back But I don't wanna let you go Can you feel that? It's tight enough to choke [Chorus] How could you say a thing like that? How could you say a thing like that? I look to your face and see It's telling me there's no retort And the things I thought Are coming true due to your cruel ways [Verse 2] Now we sleep in separate rooms I talk to walls instead of you Can you hear me? No? I'm combining luck and chance Hoping for your sideways glance So I can see you You laugh but there's no joke [Chorus] How could you say a thing like that? How could you say a thing like that? I look to your face and see It's telling me there's no retort And the things I thought Are coming true due to your cruel ways [Bridge] There's an alternate meaning Behind the words you spoke I can hear that now I'm combining luck and chance Hoping for your sideways glance So I can see you You laugh but there's no joke [Chorus] How could you say a thing like that? How could you say a thing like that? I look to your face and see It's telling me there's no retort And the things I thought Are coming true due to your cruel ways True due to your cruel ways
