Cruelty.

(Verse)

Hey you! Can't you see me?

Hey you! I'm over here

Oh yeah, good to see me

well, well...after all these years

I see time has changed you

but I still know the look in

your eyes.

I'm that little girl

Remember me? Why you looking

so surprised!


( Chorus:)

Cruelty!

Do you remember me!

Don't you remember me!

staring at me like you've

Seen a ghost

A parasitic moment

In time...only

this time you're the host


( Verse:)

Hey you! Where you going to?

Don't let my presence here

chase you away

do stay.

Hey you! What's the rush?

Why put this moment off

for another day?

See, little girls still

Remember dolls and

Tea parties surrendered

When darkness clouds the door

Yeah darkness clouds the door...


(Chorus:)

Ohhh Cruelty!

Do you remember me!

Don't you remember me!

staring at me like you've

seen a ghost

A parasitic moment

but this time you're the host


( Bridge:)

Hey you...won't you look my

way...and why don't you have

one single word to say...

A little frightened are we?

A little scared to finally pay?

For what you did to me

On that day?

That dayyy!

Cruelty oh, oh,oh, oh

Cruelty...cruelty.


(Verse:)

Hey you! Where you going too?

Don't let my presence here

chase you away...do stay.

Hey you! What's the rush?

Why put this moment off

for another day?


(Chorus:)

Ohh cruelty! Oh cruelty!


Do you remember me!

don't you remember me!

staring at me like you've

seen a ghost

a parasitic moment

in time

only this time you're the host

Hey! Look my way

Now that I'm

Doing the talking

You don't have much to say

You don't have a thing to say

Cruelty...Cruelty..cruelty..cruelty...
