The Ruler (London Secret Show)

You're arrogant
But I thought it was confidence
You're smooth so I believed the things you'd say
But after a couple weeks
You were kinda mean to me
You said that you were going through some things you can't explain

And you hurt me 'cause you've been hurt before
But I still said sorry though I was crying on your floor

I've gotten really good at being nice in times I shouldn't
I try to empathize, rationalize the things you do
Yeah, you give me rhinestones, I'll try and find the diamond
You say it's a cruel world, sure
But you don't have to make it crueler
But you don't have to be the ruler

'Cause you picked me up
Then you drive me 'round and build me up
Then drop me off and drive right to her house
And no, you own the place
Well at least you do inside your brain
You fantasize arriving and your subjects bowing down

And though you hurt me 'cause you've been hurt before
But I still said sorry (ouch) 'cause I was lying on your floor

And I, I've gotten really good at being nice in times I shouldn't
I try to empathize, rationalize the things you do
Yeah, you give me rhinestones, I'll try and find the diamond
You say it's a cruel world, sure
But you don't have to make it crueler
You don't have to be the ruler

You don't have to make these rules that I can't follow so you punish me in Soho
It's my fault, I should've known I'm a smart girl with a heart of gold
And you said it right to me but now you're gone and your hands are clean

Well I've gotten way too good at loving you in times I really shouldn't
And I try to empathize, rationalize the things you do
Yeah, you give me rhinestones, I'll try and make a diamond
You say it's a cruel world, okay
Well you say it's a cruel world, sure
But you don't have to make it crueler
You don't have to be the ruler
You don't have to be the ruler

Cool
Yay
Yay, oh my God
So cute
