Cruel World

Holly Humberstone

 

 

 

 

Say it back

I need to hear you, need your baby back

I play it cool

I miss your kisses on a feedback loop

 

 

And now the lights are gettin' low

Mirrorballs and pheromones

I can be a social hand grenade

Tick-tick-tick-tick boom

And everybody's gettin' close

Taking off each other's clothes

I wonder where you are tonight

 

 

It's a cruel world without you, baby

It's a cruel world

Sugar, don't you be running away for long, please

Let's catch a movie and get caught in the rain

Wherever you are is my favourite place

And it's a cruel world without you, baby

 

 

So sad

You're playin' shows, I'm comatose in my bed

(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

And I'll be going out tonight

I don't know what else to do with myself

 

There'll be more than lovers holding tight

Under ultraviolet light

Before I kill the buzz,I might

Curl-curl-curl up and die

Everybody's gettin' close

Taking off each other's clothes

I wonder where you are tonight

 

 

And it's a cruel world without you, baby

It's a cruel world

No, sugar, don't you be running away for long, please

We're hand in hand as the band starts to play

Wherever you are is my favourite place

And it's a cruel world without you, baby

 

 

It's a cruel world without your arms around me

Need you close to me, close to me, I

How am I supposed to breathe without you, babe?

I need you touching me, touching me

 

 

It's a cruel world without you, baby, oh, yeah

It's a cruel world

Sugar, don't you be running away for long, please

Take off your shoes and stick around for a change

It could be real cute if this time you stay

It's a cruel world without you, baby

 

 

 

It's a cruel world without your arms around me

Need you close to me, close to me (Hey, yeah-yeah-yeah, hey, yeah-yeah-yeah)

(It's a real cruel world, baby)

How am I supposed to breathe without you, babe? (It's a cruel, cruel world)

Yeah
