Cruel by Paper Ravens Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember those long nights
Writing words by candlelight
Didn’t want to be alone
But couldn’t take another fight
Black hoodie and spiral bound
Switchfoot and shinedown
Just me and my thoughts now
Why can’t I seem to drown them out

[Pre Chorus]
You were supposed to make me stronger
But instead you left me broken
You know life is so much harder
When your heart is breaking open

[Chorus]
Ooo
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo
Why did you have to be so
Cruel
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo, Ooo
[Verse 2]
Now I’m in a new town
Left the past behind now
But it still shows up now and then
To tell me I’m a let-down
Black hoodie and spiral bound
The words come alive now
All the truth that I’ve found
And nobody can drown it out

[Pre Chorus]
You were supposed to make me stronger
But instead you left me broken
I was blinded by the darkness
But now my eyes are open

[Bridge]
I’m breaking away from
Breaking away from
Breaking away from you
I’m runnin’ to somethin'
I’m runnin’ to somethin’
Runnin’ to somethin’ new

[Chorus]
Ooo
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo
Why did you have to be so
Cruel
Why did you have to leave me like this
Ooo‚ Ooo
