[Verse 1]
I've been chasing my grave
Since I was sixteen
'Cause I got five little habits
And you know what I mean
My other lover he left
'Cause I was being a prick
So now I'm running down the motorway
While burning these cigarettes

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't really know what love is
I don't really know what side I should take
So if I try to keep a promise
It'll break, break, break

[Chorus]
I'm cruel to you
'Cause you're the only one
I feel this lonely with
I'd say I hate your guts
I go too far with it
So please forgive me
If I'm cruel to you
If I'm cruel to you
[Verse 2]
I've been avoiding thе news
Since I was a kid
'Cause I'vе got told it shows the bad side of the world that we're in
Then I grew up
It opened my eyes
You don't need the news to see the shit side of life

[Pre-Chorus]
And I never really learn what love is
I never really learn what side I should take
So if I try to keep a promise
It'll break, break, break

[Chorus]
I'm cruel to you
'Cause you're the only one
I feel this lonely with
I'd say I hate your guts
I go too far with it
So please forgive me
If I'm cruel to you
If I'm cruel to you
If I'm cruel to you
Yes, I've been cruel to you
'Cause you're the only one
I feel this lonely with
I'd say I hate your guts
'Cause you're the only one
