Miranda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It never goes that way
I'm telling you to leave
But you just want to stay
I don't mind
Oh Baby, I don't mind
Cruel 2 B Kind
Though darkness covers you
I feel you standing there
My eyes are wide awake
But you don't seem to care
I don't mind
Oh Baby, I don't mind
Your heart is kind
Oh Baby, I don't Mind
If you're gonna mess around
Better let me know right now
Don't need your love
I like your love
But is it gonna be enough
I know you're just a ghost
I like to keep you close
I'm safer when you're by my side
I just don't want to let it go
Down down down
I don't mind
Oh Baby, I don't mind
Cruel 2 B Kind
Oh Baby, I don't Mind
In Mïrändä's song "Cruel 2 B Kind", the lyrics evoke mixed emotions of love and fear of losing the person they love at the same time. The lyrics tell the story of a person who is torn between asking their lover to leave because of the fear of being hurt, but at the same time unable to resist the temptation of wanting them to stay. The line "Maybe tonight it won't, It never goes that way" implies that the relationship always ends up hurting them, but they hope that maybe this time it won't. The line "If you're gonna mess around, better let me know right now" suggests that the person has trust issues and is scared of being played.
The chorus consists of the repeated phrase "I don't mind, oh baby, I don't mind, cruel 2 B kind, oh baby, I don't mind". This implies that the person is willing to put up with the pain inflicted by the lover because they're so in love with them. They're willing to tolerate their lover's "cruelty" as long as they stay by their side. Although the person is cautiously trying to protect their heart, they still can't bear to let their lover go.
In summary, "Cruel 2 B Kind" sings about the struggles and confusion that come with loving someone who can be cruel, but also not wanting to let them go. The emotions of fear, insecurity, and love are beautifully woven into the lyrics of this song.
