Cruel

James Arthur

Cruel

You left your anti-depressants on the dresser
It's a freezing cold reminder of all of the pressure
We stole serotonin from the moments between comas
By the way, by the way, I still have your letter
I still hold on to your confessions
I still lie about getting better
Do you still obsess about the meta?
I think we were good together
Do you remember?

I get it, you were the dancing queen, oh, I
But you were never just that to me, oh, I
I guess I thought you'd come back for me
Now I drink to drown you out
I talk shit about you, isn't it cruel
That I never got to say goodbye to you?

They tell me you met somebody new, I hope you ruin it
I'm on some petty shit 'cause you never left me with anything
Do you remember
When we would throw on those abba records?
When you were anything but pretentious?
To your love, I was defenseless
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

I get it, you were the dancing queen, oh, I
But you were never just that to me, oh, I
I guess I thought you'd come back for me
Now I drink to drown you out
I talk shit about you, isn't it cruel
That I never got to say goodbye to you?

And all I wanted was to say goodbye
The dancing queen
Oh, yeah

I get it, you were the dancing queen, oh, I
But you were never just that to me, oh, I
I guess I thought you'd come back for me
Now I drink to drown you out
I talk shit about you, isn't it cruel (cruel)
I never got to say goodbye to you?

Cruel

Dejaste tus antidepresivos en la cómoda
Es un frío recordatorio de toda la presión
Robamos serotonina de los momentos entre comas
Por cierto, por cierto, aún tengo tu carta
Sigo aferrándome a tus confesiones
Sigo mintiendo sobre que estoy mejor
¿Todavía te obsesionas con lo meta?
Creo que éramos buenos juntos
¿Lo recuerdas?

Lo entiendo, eras la reina del baile, oh, yo
Pero nunca fuiste solo eso para mí, oh, yo
Supongo que pensé que volverías por mí
Ahora bebo para ahogarte
Hablo mal de ti, ¿no es cruel
Que nunca pude decirte adiós?

Me dicen que conociste a alguien nuevo, espero que lo arruines
Estoy en un plan de venganza porque nunca me dejaste nada
¿Recuerdas
Cuando poníamos esos discos de ABBA?
Cuando eras todo menos pretenciosa?
A tu amor, era indefenso
¿Lo recuerdas?
¿Lo recuerdas?

Lo entiendo, eras la reina del baile, oh, yo
Pero nunca fuiste solo eso para mí, oh, yo
Supongo que pensé que volverías por mí
Ahora bebo para ahogarte
Hablo mal de ti, ¿no es cruel
Que nunca pude decirte adiós?

Y todo lo que quería era decirte adiós
La reina del baile
Oh, sí

Lo entiendo, eras la reina del baile, oh, yo
Pero nunca fuiste solo eso para mí, oh, yo
Supongo que pensé que volverías por mí
Ahora bebo para ahogarte
Hablo mal de ti, ¿no es cruel (cruel)
Que nunca pude decirte adiós?
