Template:When I Was Cruel (No. 1)

You talk your way out of this

Did someone flip your switch?

Now there is only right or wrong

Can you tell which is which?

But it was so much easier

When I was cruel

Why did you leave, you had a home

Why did you travel far abroad -

So you could sleep with strangers?

You must have heard just how absurd

The words poured out of you, you fraud

I guess you don't know what pain is

So don't pretend you're innocent

Do I look like a fool?

I guess you have forgotten

When I was cruel

Oh when I was cruel and I could make you so unhappy

Lonely cowards followed me like ghouls

And you liked me too

When I was cruel

Oh you know you did

But if you should feel anything,

A signal from within

Go back in your laboratory

And try to dial it in

But if you should feel anything,

A signal from without

Abandon your dreams of vengeance

So don't protest your innocence

The truth is hard to judge

Perhaps you have forgotten when

I held a grudge

Oh when I was cruel and I could make you very sorry

Lonely cowards followed me like ghouls

And you liked me too

When I was cruel

Oh you know you did

When I was cruel
