[Verse 1]
Have you ever told a lie and enjoyed it
'Cause the truth hurts and you’d rather avoid it?
Do you ever see the stars and get jealous
'Cause they're up so high and you can’t reach them from the terrace?
[Chorus]
It's a cruel world and it's dragging you down
It's a harsh life and it's easy to drown
No, it's a cruel world and it's hurt me a lot
But I made a choice, I'd rather be here then not
[Post-Chorus]
Mhmm, mhmm
[Verse 2]
Would you ever give those eyes to a stranger?
’Cause it feels good and you’re on your worst behavior
Have you ever left a lover so they don't leave you first?
If this pain’s not real why do we act the way that it does?
[Chorus]
It's a cruel world and it's dragging you down
It's a harsh life and it’s easy to drown
No, it's a cruel world and it's hurt me a lot
But I made a choice, I'd rather be here then not
[Post-Chorus]
Mhmm, mhmm
Mhmm, mhmm
[Chorus]
It's a cruel world and it's dragging you down
Oh, it's a harsh life and it's easy to drown
Oh, it's a cruel world and it's hurt me a lot
But I made a choice, I'd rather be here then not
