When I Was Cruel

Did 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 Your happy 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 your 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. And if you should feel anything, A signal from without Abandon your dreams of vengeance, So don't pretest your innocence, The truth is hard to judge Perhaps you have forgetten when, I had a grudge Oh but I was cruel and I would make you very sorry Lonely cowards followed me like ghouls And you liked me too When I was cruel oh you know you did
