Cruel to be Cruel by Jessica Law Lyrics

I toed the line
Was calm and kind
Still they betrayed me
So I must teach them to hate me

The price I pay
To get my way
Wish you'd have known me
When only kindness controlled me

Needles that sting
They tell you a thing
You have to be cruel to be kind
Well, I have to be cruel to be cruel
And I'm cruel all the time

The dark descends
The present tense
Draws in to meet me
Soon sightless silence will greet me
The wind protests
That he knows best
He can't deceive me
Soon all my troubles will leave me

Needles that sting
They tell you a thing
You have to be cruel to be kind
Well, I have to be cruel to be cruel
And I'm cruel all the time
