Cruel to Be Kind
Leave well alone
You've already said enough
What we had is dead in the dust
I'd like to leave it where it lay
I think we're better off this way
'Cause you've said things I didn't want to hear
Now you wanna take it back
But I refuse to let bygones be
Forgive and forget ain't that easy
You're no friend of mine
I'll be cruel to be kind
Well, talk is cheap
And so is what you've said to me
So I'll cut these ties and let it bleed
Let the chips fall where they may
I know I'm better off this way
'Cause you've said things I didn't want to hear
Now you wanna take it back
But I refuse to let bygones be
Forgive and forget ain't that easy
You're no friend of mine
I'll be cruel to be kind
I refuse to let bygones be
Forgive and forget ain't that easy
You're no friend of mine
I'll be cruel to be kind
But I refuse to let bygones be
Forgive and forget ain't that easy
You're no friend of mine
I'll be cruel to be kind
I'll be cruel to be kind
So I'll say goodbye
I'll be cruel to be kind
You've already said enough
What we had is dead in the dust
I'd like to leave it where it lay
I think we're better off this way
'Cause you've said things I didn't want to hear
Now you wanna take it back
But I refuse to let bygones be
Forgive and forget ain't that easy
You're no friend of mine
I'll be cruel to be kind
Well, talk is cheap
And so is what you've said to me
So I'll cut these ties and let it bleed
Let the chips fall where they may
I know I'm better off this way
'Cause you've said things I didn't want to hear
Now you wanna take it back
But I refuse to let bygones be
Forgive and forget ain't that easy
You're no friend of mine
I'll be cruel to be kind
I refuse to let bygones be
Forgive and forget ain't that easy
You're no friend of mine
I'll be cruel to be kind
But I refuse to let bygones be
Forgive and forget ain't that easy
You're no friend of mine
I'll be cruel to be kind
I'll be cruel to be kind
So I'll say goodbye
I'll be cruel to be kind
