Cruel Games
[Verse 1]
It's the middle of the night
And I forgot how to forget
The empty feeling by my side
The empty feeling in my bed
I thought by know it'd be gone
Oh, that's what everybody said
I wish I knew it all along
I'd run forever and again
I'd run forever and again

[Chorus]
Let me in on your cruel game
And show me how to play
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway
Even if there's hell to pay
Promise I won't run away
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway

[Verse 2]
Tell me the heartache is a gift
Better than nothing, anyway
Or stanch the bleeding with a fist
It's worse no matter what they say
I never knew that I could lose
I never knew it was a game
I wear the title like a bruise
I've got nobody else to blame
[Chorus]
Let me in on your cruel game
And show me how to play
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway
Even if there's hell to pay
Promise I won't run away
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway

Let me in on your cruel game
And show me how to play
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway
Even if there's hell to pay
Promise I won't run away
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Let me in on your cruel game
And show me how to play
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway
Even if there's hell to pay
Promise I won't run away
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway

Let me in on your cruel game
And show me how to play
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway
Even if there's hell to pay
Promise I won't run away
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway
Let me in on your cruel game
And show me how to play
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway (You do it better but I'll ah ah ah ah)
Even if there's hell to pay (ah)
Promise I won't run away (ah)
You do it better but I'll give it a shot anyway
You do it better, you do it better, you do it better
