Cruel Love
Kayzo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up last night, I thought about flying
Across the state line to show you that I
That I'm always trying, but I always fail
I'm getting too good at goodbyes
Yeah, I don't know why I even said hi
Can we just forget that we fight?
I don't wanna win, just want this to end
Been driving too long
I don't know where I'm going
But I can't be far off
If you find love in someone who reminds you of me
You're better off
It's not what I wanted
Is it what you wanted?
Am I the only one?
I give it all, I give it all to you
It's cruel love, it's cruel love you do
It's that cruel love, cruel love you do
It feels like yesterday, everything feels so far away
Cruel love, yeah cruel love will do

I woke up last night, I dreamt that I called you
For the first time in months we didn't speak once
No, we didn't have to, to know how we feel
If I can just turn off the clocks, would you make the time?
No more blurry lines
Did you just forget all those nights you felt like a fool
What I put you through

Been driving too long
I don't know where I'm going
But I can't be far off
If you find love in someone who reminds you of me
You're better off
It's not what I wanted
Is it what you want?
Am I the only one?
I give it all, I give it all to you
It's cruel love, it's cruel love you do
It's that cruel love, cruel love you do




It feels like yesterday, everything feels so far away
Cruel love, yeah cruel love will do

Verse 1:
I woke up last night, I thought about flying
Across the state line to show you that I
That I'm always trying, but I always fail
I'm getting too good at goodbyes
Yeah, I don't know why I even said hi
Can we just forget that we fight?
I don't wanna win - just want this to end

Chorus:
I'm driving too long
I don't know where I'm going
But I can't be far off
If you find love in someone who reminds you of me
You're better off
It's not what I wanted
Is it what you wanted?
Am I the only one?
I give it all, I give it all to you
It's cruel love, it's cruel love you do
It's that cruel love, cruel love you do
It feels like yesterday, everything feels so far away
Cruel love, yeah cruel love will do

‪when you just can't seem to stop singing a particular song that got stuck in your head, no matter how hard you try to sing a new one, you'll just end up singing the same lines from that song.‬ ‪

I woke up last night, I dreamt that I called you
The first time in months we didn't speak once
No, we didn't have to, to know how we feel
If I can just turn off the clocks, would you make the time?
No more blurry lines
Did you just forget all those nights you fell like a fool
What I put you through
