Cruel
We were born into nothing, hard up so to speak
But love and affection this family afforded me
Worries came early and often it seemed
Fate was not pleasant still I was redeemed
Then compassion soon faded to chaos
As they did their best all the while
When circumstance outweighs intention
Sometimes the mountain's just too hard to climb
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
I was young and I thought I knew everything
It's so hard to change a fool's mind
When you're stubborn by nature and quick to the draw
And you're full of inherited pride
But some lessons come harder than others
And some senses are harder to find
Your troubles won't end when you're saved by the bell
You'll still answer to those you defied
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
The heavens might sing out your praises
But the heavens won't pay for your lies
The sinners might pray for your problems
But the sinners won't look in your eye
They were crazy, they were mine
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
The heavens might sing out your praises
But the heavens won't pray for your lies
The sinners might pay for your problems
But the sinner won't look in your eye
Cruel
Nacimos en la nada, sin un centavo que hablar
Pero amor y cariño esta familia me brindó
Las preocupaciones llegaron temprano y a menudo parecía
El destino no fue amable, pero fui redimido
Luego la compasión pronto se desvaneció en caos
Mientras hacían lo mejor que podían
Cuando las circunstancias superan las intenciones
A veces la montaña es simplemente demasiado difícil de escalar
Fueron crueles, fueron ignorantes
Fueron belleza, fueron amables
Fueron paciencia, fueron virtud
Fueron locura, fueron míos
Era joven y pensaba que lo sabía todo
Es tan difícil cambiar la mente de un tonto
Cuando eres terco por naturaleza y rápido al gatillo
Y estás lleno de orgullo heredado
Pero algunas lecciones son más duras que otras
Y algunos sentidos son más difíciles de encontrar
Tus problemas no terminarán cuando te salve la campana
Todavía responderás a aquellos a quienes desafiaste
Fueron crueles, fueron ignorantes
Fueron belleza, fueron amables
Fueron paciencia, fueron virtud
Fueron locura, fueron míos
Los cielos podrían cantar tus alabanzas
Pero los cielos no pagarán por tus mentiras
Los pecadores podrían rezar por tus problemas
Pero los pecadores no te mirarán a los ojos
Fueron locura, fueron míos
Fueron crueles, fueron ignorantes
Fueron belleza, fueron amables
Fueron paciencia, fueron virtud
Fueron locura, fueron míos
Fueron crueles, fueron ignorantes
Fueron belleza, fueron amables
Fueron paciencia, fueron virtud
Fueron locura, fueron míos
Los cielos podrían cantar tus alabanzas
Pero los cielos no rezarán por tus mentiras
Los pecadores podrían pagar por tus problemas
Pero el pecador no te mirará a los ojos
