Cruel To Be Kind
Your head's in the clouds
Your head's in the clouds
Sunday morning wake up
Another day, but nothing's new
You're sipping on your ego
Eating with your silver spoon
When we were young
You had it all in the palm of your hand
Everyone around you was your biggest fan
But you're not a boy, now you're a man
I gotta say something to you, you won't like
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
Somebody's gotta tell the truth, it's on me
If you're the moon, then I'm gravity
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
Say that you're a grown-up
Don't need nobody else advice
So you come stumbling home
After spending mama's cash at night
It's up to you
Keep on wasting your hours and years
Smoke it away, you can drown all your fears
Let's clean up
We're starting right here
I gotta say something to you, you won't like
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
Somebody's gotta tell the truth, it's on me
If you're the moon, then I'm gravity
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
You gotta be cruel, gotta be cruel
gotta be cruel to be kind
Gotta be cruel, gotta be cruel
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Gotta be cruel, gotta be cruel
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Gotta be cruel, gotta be cruel
Gotta be cruel to be kind
I gotta say something to you, you won't like
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
Somebody's gotta tell the truth, it's on me
If you're the moon, then I'm gravity
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
You gotta be cruel, gotta be cruel
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
Your head's in the clouds
Sunday morning wake up
Another day, but nothing's new
You're sipping on your ego
Eating with your silver spoon
When we were young
You had it all in the palm of your hand
Everyone around you was your biggest fan
But you're not a boy, now you're a man
I gotta say something to you, you won't like
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
Somebody's gotta tell the truth, it's on me
If you're the moon, then I'm gravity
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
Say that you're a grown-up
Don't need nobody else advice
So you come stumbling home
After spending mama's cash at night
It's up to you
Keep on wasting your hours and years
Smoke it away, you can drown all your fears
Let's clean up
We're starting right here
I gotta say something to you, you won't like
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
Somebody's gotta tell the truth, it's on me
If you're the moon, then I'm gravity
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
You gotta be cruel, gotta be cruel
gotta be cruel to be kind
Gotta be cruel, gotta be cruel
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Gotta be cruel, gotta be cruel
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Gotta be cruel, gotta be cruel
Gotta be cruel to be kind
I gotta say something to you, you won't like
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
Somebody's gotta tell the truth, it's on me
If you're the moon, then I'm gravity
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
You gotta be cruel, gotta be cruel
Gotta be cruel to be kind
Your head's in the clouds
I'm bringing you down
I'm bringing you down
