I Pray Cruel

“She’s 16 just turned 16, She’s 16 just turned on,
She moves, too close.
He’s 20 nearly 20, He’s 20 just care free,
He moves, too soon.

And oh, He watched Her as the acid in His stomach
Made Him want to close Him eyes and wish that
No one else was in that room
Memories of Her perfume…

He’s a flirt, She’s a tease
And they think that life’s a breeze
He’s got faith, but She’s got history

And oh, He let Her kiss his neck and more
People passed out on the kitchen floor
So no one else was in that room
Could it be, His wish came true

A month in, She’s away
And He thinks the world’s ok
He’s got faith, but She’s been led astray

And did you taste my mouth those nights
When you kissed his lips and he led you south?
Right after you told me you loved me…

And oh, She doesn’t know He cried himself to sleep that night
Waiting weeks for her to board her flight
Now She can barely speak
But He already knows that She was weak

She’s 16 just turned 16, She’s 16 just confessed
She cries, Alone
Now He’s 20 just turned 20, He’s 20 just in love
He should, have known”

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand

So why your love went away
I just can’t seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don’t want to think about it
Don’t want to talk about it
I’m just so sick about it
Can’t believe it’s ending this way

Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can’t do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it’s really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should’ve known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It’s breaking my heart to watch you run around
‘Cause I know that you’re living a lie
That’s okay baby ’cause in time you will find…

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it’s all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong

You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get’s a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he’s doing to you
What you did to me
Ain’t that the way it goes

You cheated girl
My heart bleeds girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved

And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right

But girl I ain’t somebody with a lot of sympathy
You’ll see

Intensity In Ten Cities :
I’m not the one that you want, I’ll only let you down.
And I’m pretty sure that you’ve caught on.
And you can say that ‘Oh, I’m just feeling sorry for my…’

I think it’s every time I walk into a room
a silence so sudden that I seem to hear it
(Smiles turn to frowns)
Contact saying that you are the rain on their parade.

And how long could you hang on to a word?
Tell me, how long could you hang on to a word?

I’m not the one that you want, I’ll only let you down.
And I’m pretty sure that you’ve caught on.
And you can say that ‘Oh, I’m just feeling sorry for myself’

Or maybe it’s all eyes on him
in love with ego and intention
the eyes that are just begging me for more.
This is gone and I can see it
your head is full of words,
full of words that don’t mean anything.

And how long could you hang on to a word?
Tell me, how long could you hang on to a word?

I’m not the one that you want, I’ll always let you down.
And I’m pretty sure that you’ve caught on.
And you can say that ‘Oh, I’m just feeling sorry for myself’

I’m not the one that you want, I’ll always let you down.
And I’m pretty sure that you’ve caught on.
And you can say that ‘Oh, I’m just feeling sorry for myself’
If that’s how you feel, then what’s there to do?
I’ll keep this feeling in my heart
but when you look in my eyes, you will know the truth
