Just Pete - Cruel (Lyrics)

Just Pete - Cruel (Lyrics) Lyrics: [Verse 1] I still keep your spoon in the wrong side drawer Your coffee mug by the busted door I know I should hate you, that'd make this clean But you were soft edges and that cuts deeper than mean [Pre-Chorus] If you slammed one door, if you told one lie If you left me mad, I could sleep at night But you held my hand like you meant it Then I'm stuck here wishing you were cruel back then [Chorus] If you were mean, if you were cruel, you played me like a fool If you laugh like it was nothing, I'd know how to take that hit But you're good in every memory. That's what's killing me I don't need another reason to move on I just wish you'd give me one [Verse 2] I saw your hoodie on a stranger's back The same frayed sleeves, same faded black My chest went tight like a familiar ache I needed a reason to let you go [Pre-Chorus] If you wrecked my name, if you cut too deep If you made me bleed, I could let it be But you were gentle in the worst of ways Now your goodbye still won't fade [Chorus] If you were mean, if you were cruel You played me like a fool You laugh like it was nothing I know how to take that hit But you're good in every memory That's what's killing me I don't need another reason to move on I just wish you'd give me one [Bridge] Say you were careless, say you were cold Say you never loved me, let my heart let go I keep making villains out of empty air But your soft voice is still right there [Chorus] If you were mean, if you were cruel If you played me like a fool If you left like it was nothing I'd know how to take that hit But you're good in every memory That's what's killing me I don't need another reason to move on I just wish you'd give me one
